The proportion of products sold. For example, if a car company sells 100,000 low-profit cars and 400,000 medium-profit cars and 500,000 high-profit trucks, it has a sales mix of 10% + 40% + 50%. If the total number of units sold remains at 1,000,000 but the sales mix changes so that more of the low-profit cars are sold and fewer of the high-profit trucks are sold, the company’s profits will be significantly less.

"I am very appreciative of AccountingCoach.com. I believe that Harold Averkamp, CPA, MBA, deserves to receive a special award for his philanthropic dedication to educating people about accounting. I try to spread the word as much as possible because this website is truly a wonderful opportunity to learn bookkeeping and accounting. And it is FREE. Plus you get the opportunity for lots of material for a very small amount of money. And there are great videos & quizzes, too. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to study at AccountingCoach.com. Whenever I am talking with just about anyone I refer them to AccountingCoach.com. Honestly, this is the best website to learn a valuable skill with the added plus of no debt in the process, using the least amount of money, zero gasoline, zero transportation time/energy, no frustration and having the finest teacher one could hope to be learning from, i.e., Mr. Harold Averkamp, CPA, MBA." - Carol S.
