Definition of Relevant Range



Relevant range is a broader term that defines the boundaries of any activity. In accounting terms, it is used in forecasting where the managers take assumptions and make forecasts. The relevant range can be set for both income and expenses.

 


For example, when a budget is prepared we add some expected expenses that might have to be added as a contingency. The provision for contingent expenses is added to the budget and a relevant range is assigned to it based on the past experience or probability of events.
