image text in transcribedimage text in transcribed Market Share Metrics (market share, relative market share, market concentration) A high growth toy market in the Greater Charleston Area has the following five brands competing in two tourist sections, Mt. Pleasant and Folly Beach (yearly sales). Hint: Unit price is the consistent for each brand independent of where they are sold. Interpretation Calculations (Questions 1-7) 1. What is Doug \& Melissa's relative market share in Mt. Pleasant (use unit market share)? 6000/7000=85.71 2. What are Mattel's unit market shares in Folly Beach and also Greater Charleston? Market Share at folly =(200/1000)100%=20% Total unit of Mattel's sold Charleston =(100+200)=300 Total unit sold of all toys Charleston =(1000+1000)=2000 Market share =(300/2000)100%=15% Folly =20% Charleston =15% 3. What is Mattel's relative market share (use revenue market share)? (15000/50000)100=30% Mattel's relative market share =30% 4. What is the 3-firm market concentration in Mt.

Fuzzy toys =(200/1000)100=20% Lego =(350/1000)100=35% MP concentration ratio =20%+20%+35%=75% All market: Fuzzy toys =(9000/20000)100=18% Mattel =(15000/50,000)100=30% Lego =(14000/20000)100=28% All market concentration ratio =18%+30%+28%=76% If the potential market in Mt. Pleasant is 2000 customers and the potential market in Folly Beach is 5000 customers, what are the respective market penetration rates for this product category (presume 1 purchase / customer). 5. Mt. Pleasant Penetration Rate: 1000/2000=0.5=50% 6. Folly Beach Penetration Rate: 1000/5000 =0.2=20% 7. Overall (Both Markets) Penetration Rate: Mattel's Penetration Rate MP: =100/2000=0.05=5% Doug and Melisa's Penetration Rate MP =150/2000=0.075=7.5%
