The relevant range of activity refers to a the current level of production. If production drops or increases, then the relevant range will change.
Although fixed cost per unit decreases with increases in activity levels, total fixed cost is not affected by changes in the activity level within the relevant range.

unit fixed costs and total variable cost
total fixed costs remain unchanged

The span of activity in which a company expects to operate.
Relevant range is an accounting term that pertains to the minimum and maximum value. It sets the cost boundary in a certain activity level.
yes
A decrease in fixed cost per unit
an increase or decrease on a company's fixed costs is however not only dependent on the relevant period but also on the relevant production range. The total fixed costs will remain constant if the relevant production range can be handled by the same number of production units, producing fewer steps. If a certain step ( certain cost level) encompasses the entire relevant range of activity, the costs are entirely fixed.

The flexible budget uses the master budget as its basis. To develop the flexible budget, management should take the following steps. 1. Identify the activity index and the relevant range of activity. 2. Identify the variable costs, and determine the budgeted variable cost per unit of activity for each cost. 3. Identify the fixed costs, and determine the budgeted amount for each cost. 4. Prepare the budget for selected increments of activity within the relevant range.
outside the relevant range, variable cost and fixed cost behaviors patterns may change
