Leaf limited has had a mixed year.its market share has improved two percentage points to 20% but the overall market had contracted by 5%in the same period. The budgeted sales were 504000units and standard contribution was 12$ per unit. What is the level of actual sales? Ans - up by a little over five and half percent to 532000units .... Plz explain the logic n concept behind it...I didn't understand how they got 532000 units ...

The budgeted market share was 18%, so the budgeted market was 504,000/18% = 2,800,000 The market fell by 5%, so the actual market was 95% x 2,800,000 = 2,660,000. Leaf's actual market share was 20%, so the actual sales = 20% x 2,660,000 = 532,000.
