d)up by a little over five and half percentage to 53200 unitshello sir i have not understand this question at all
Leaf’s budgeted market share must have been 18% (20% – 2%).
They budgeted on selling 504,000 units, and since this was budgeted as being 18% of the whole market, the budgeted overall market must have been 504,000 / 18% = 2,800,000 units.
The overall market actually fell by 95%, so the actual overall market must have been 95% x 2,800,000 = 2,660,000.
Leaf’s actual share of the market was 20%, therefore their actual sales must be 20% x 2,660,000 = 532,000 units.
(I assume you are happy with the term ‘market share’ from your earlier studies?)
