unreferenced date July 2007 Sales variance is the difference between actual sales and budget sales. It is used to measure the performance of a sales function, and or analyze business results to better understand market conditions. There are two reasons actual sales can vary from planned sales either the volume sold varied from plan sales volume variance , or sales were at a different price from what was planned sales price variance . Both scenarios could also simultaneously contribute to the variance. For example The plan was to sell 5 widgets at 3 each, for a budgeted sales of 5 3 15. In reality, 6 widgets were sold at 2 each, for an actual sales of 6 2 12. The total variance was thus 12 15 3 U nfavourable or minus 3, since total sales was less than planned. Sales price variance Sales Price Variance The sales price variance reveals the difference in total revenue caused by charging a different selling price from the planned or standard price. The sales price variance is calculated as Actual quantity sold actual selling price planned selling price . In the example, the sales price variance was 6 2 3 6 U nfavourable or minus 6, since the sales price was less than planned. Sales volume variance Sales Volume Variance is calculated as Budgeted price actual volume planned volume . In the example, the sales volume variance was 3 6 5 3 F avourable, or plus 3, since the sales volume was more than planned. Sales Volume Variance is further sub divided into two variances. Sales Mix Variance Sales Quantity Variance Total variance The total variance can thus be seen algebraic ally to be minus 6 plus plus 3 , giving minus 3 . Or 6 3 3. This result tells us that the negative effect of selling at a lower price was twice the positive effect of selling at a higher volume than planned. This might have occurred where prices were lowered to increase volume, but actual volume increases did not meet expectations, perhaps due to competitors also cutting their prices, or changes in customer ... more details

unreferenced date April 2007 System sales is a business term used in the franchising industry. Franchisors provide supplies, marketing and administration services to franchisees in return for a part of the franchisees revenues. Some franchisors also operate some outlets directly. System sales represents the total sales of all outlets that use a brand, or that use all the franchised brands owned by one franchisor. It is always higher than the franchisor s revenue for accounting purposes. For example, say an average Fast Eats restaurant has annual revenue of US 1 million. Fast Eats Inc operates 1,000 Fast Eats restaurants directly and franchises another 3,000 outlets, taking a 20 cut of sales. Fast Eats Inc s reported revenue is 1.6 billion 1,000 1million from direct operations and 20 3,000 1 million from franchised outlets . But Fast Eats system revenue is 4 billion 4,000 1 million . System sales provides a useful way of assessing the growth of a franchised brand. A franchise operator can easily increase its reported revenue by taking more outlets under direct management, but that may not be the best option for the profitability of the business, and the increase in accounting revenue it generates may give a misleading impression of the rate of growth of the underlying business, if system sales are not taken into account. business stub Category Sales ... more details
