DellFan, the second table IS wrong. The test for a table like this is: a. Assume each share point in period 1 = one unit b. Multiply each unit by (1+growth rate), yielding period 2 units c. Sum the products created in b. {As an aside, the resulting answer, minus 100 is the growth rate for the industry}. d. Divide period 2 units for each company (from b) by the sum of all the units (from c). This should equal the market share in period 2. For the second table, it does not. For the first table, it does. If you assume the growth rates are correct for the second table (and the market shares are incorrect), the newly-calculated market shares for period 2 are as follows: Compaq 15.73% Dell 14.37% Gateway 9.02% HP 7.82% Others 53.06% Of course, the calculated shares will be wrong as well.
