Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is: 13,3%.

Explanation:

A company's market share is the percentage of the total market for its products that it controls. Companies that increase their market share enjoy a competitive advantage. They receive better prices from suppliers and they are able to produce goods faster.

Thus, Levon's family business market share is:

  • Market share = Units sold by one company / Total units sold in the market
  • Market share = 266 / 2000
  • Market share = 13,3%
