Hi,
i would like to understand why in the calculation of Mens market share after two years we use 0.95^2 instead of 1.25^2 and in Teenagers 1^2 instead of 1.1^2? Is this an error by any chance?
thank you

Hello.
Beauty is the expression of harmony and beauty in both the external and internal world. It can be diverse and individual, reflecting a variety of shapes, colors and expressions.

Hi there,
Thanks for linking the case. The math here is quite tricky, but the case is correct!
Men's Market
So, for Men's market we multiply the market size ($100m) times its growth in 2 years (1.25^2). This is correct as the market grows 25% per year.
We then multiply it by .1 *.95^2 because "Market shares have been declining or stagnating in the last two years". Men's market share has been falling by 5% each year.
Teenagers Market.
The teenager market is $50M (exhibit 1) and it's growing by 10% each year (Exhibit 1). Therefore we do $50M * 1.1^2.
The teenager market share is 25% (exhibit 2) and not declining (text above the math). Therefore we mutiply the above result with 25%, or 25% X 1 (no change).

Hello!
You are correct with what you are explaning, but the 0.95 x 0.95 (which equals 0.95^2) is because it indicates that sales are decreasing by 5% yearly.
Cheers,
