Product Variant Buying Prices

Hello All

We are using v. 15.0.2 and when we create a new parent product with variants, the non-weighted selling price of the parent does not carry over to the variant, nor does the general buyer price. I am not sure if it was always this way, but it creates a huge amount of data entry for us. Should this parent product price automatically carry over to the variants? Is there a setting that would allow that?
