Description
The average selling price for each product, calculated as total revenue divided by the number of items sold.
Why it is important
The average selling price per item is a fundamental metric for assessing the overall revenue generated from product sales. This metric guides pricing strategies, revenue forecasting, and financial planning.

By analyzing the average price per item, businesses can make informed decisions about product positioning, market competitiveness, and overall revenue optimization.
Formula
Total Revenue / Number of Items Sold
Calculation example
If the total revenue is $15,000 and 500 items were sold,

Average Price per Item = ($15,000/500) = $30
