1.

Given

In the 12 month period total haircuts sold were $ 42.9 million

First Choice Haircutters chain = $5.6 Million

Tangles Chain sold = $ 3.5 million

Calculation

Total Market size = $ 42.9 million

First Choice Haircutters chain + Tangles Chain sold together = $9.1 million ($5.6 Million +$3.5 Million)

Their together share was = 21.2% ($9.1 million/ $ 42.9 Million)

First Choice Haircutters chain share = 13.05% ( $5.6 Million/ $ 42.9 Million)

Tangles Chain share = 8.15% ($ 3.5 million / $ 42.9 Million)

2.

The market share of a company can be calculated as the total sales made by the company divided by the total revenue of the industry.

Hence, market share of

• Uncle Ben's Brand Product : ($1,741,018/ $ 4,060,768)* 100

= 42.9%

• Dainty Rice Brand Product : ($588,811/ $ 4,060,768)*100

= 14.5%

• Others: ($1,730,939 /$ 4,060,768)*100

= 42.6%
