Answer:

a. the relative distribution of sales among the products sold by a company.

Explanation:

  • A sale mix is a relative part or ratio of the business products are sold and as the companies products have different degrees of productivity they are also applicable to services.
  • It thus can be expressed as the ratio of the products with each and every product compared to the overall volume of the product.
  • Thus, if a company tries to get a new product which has a lower profit, then sells it very aggressively it will make a low profit where the total sales will be increased.  
  • Similarly, if a company selects to develop a low-profit line and push sales of a higher profit from the product line, then the total profits will then increase even as the total sales tend to decline.
