Question:Which of the following situations is most likely to result in a favourable selling price variance?
  A The sales director decided to change from the planned policy of market skimming pricing to one of market penetration pricing.
  B Fewer customers than expected took advantage of the early payment discounts offered.
  C Competitors charged lower prices than expected, therefore selling prices had to be reduced in order to compete effectively.
