sales volume variance |
|
Definition
The difference between the budgeted quantity of units sold and the actual quantity of units sold. This figure is multiplied by the profit per unit (margin). For example, if a company sold 100 more units than it expected at a profit per unit of $3, its sales volume variance is $300 (100 units x $3/unit). When calculating the sales volume variance, the profit per unit is used, not the selling price.
