The answer is 1 – Actual sales revenue divided by actual units sold of 8.600 gives us an average sales price of £25,50, which is 50p less than the standard selling price of £26. The sales price variance, therefore, equals £0.50 * 8,600 or £4,300 which is adverse as the actual sales price achieved of £25.50 is 50p lower than the standard price set in the budget for the month.
