Sales Mix Variance is a financial metric that quantifies the impact on profit due to the variation in the proportion of different products sold compared to the planned sales mix. It reflects how changes in the sales composition affect overall profitability, highlighting the importance of strategic product emphasis. A favorable sales mix variance indicates a shift towards higher-margin products, while an unfavorable variance suggests a move towards lower-margin items.
