Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Statement A is supported by given data.

What is market share?

Market share percentage is defined as (product purchase from particular company / total amount of purchase of product ) * 100

How to solve?

• Market share of all the vendors in Q1 2012:

Samsung : (40612.8/147020.2)*100 =27.62%

Apple : (33120.5/147020.2)*100 = 15.768%

LG = (4961.4/147020.2)*100 = 2.36%
Huawei Tech. : (5269.6/147020.2)*100 = 2.508%

ZTE : (4518.9/147020.2)*100 = 2.15%

• Market share of all the vendors in Q1 2013:

Samsung : (64740/210046.1)*100 = 30.82%

Apple : (38331.8/210046.1)*100 = 18.24%

LG : (10080.4/210046.1)*100 = 4.799%

Huawei Tech. = (9334.2/210046.1)*100 = 4.44%
ZTE = (7883.3/210046.1) *100 = 3.75%

• From above, It's clear that none of the five top vendors had a decrease in market share from Q1 2012 to Q1 2013.

• Increase in sales of Samsung from Q1 2012 to Q1 2013 =   $\frac{64740-40612.8 }{40612.8}$ * 100  = 59.41% Hence statement B is FALSE.
• Share of Samsung and Apple in 2012 = $\frac{40612.8+33120.5}{147020.2}$*100 = 50.15% Hence Statement C is not correct
• Change in Apple market share from 2012 to 2013 is         $\frac{38331.8-33120.5}{33120.5}$*100 = 15.73% ⇒ market share of Apple increases ⇒ statement D is False.

THUS, Statement A is correct.
