Selling Price Variance

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Ratios and Performance Metrics » Selling Price Variance

Selling Price Variance is a financial metric that measures the difference between the actual selling price per unit and the budgeted or standard selling price, multiplied by the actual quantity sold. This variance helps businesses assess pricing strategies and market conditions, indicating whether the company is achieving its expected revenue targets. A favorable selling price variance occurs when the actual price exceeds the standard price, while an unfavorable variance indicates the opposite.
