The relevant range is the range of activity within which the assumption that cost behavior is strictly linear is reasonably valid.

In the standard cost formula Y = a + bX,what does the "Y" represent?

To the nearest whole dollar,what should be the total cost of operating the helpline costs at a volume of 23,900 calls in a month? (Assume that this call volume is within the relevant range.)
