• B. 20.93%
• C. 22.22%
• D. 21.35%
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B 20.93%

New average unit price of Dell PC$=550\$\times 1.2=660\$$
Number of units sold $=1.25\times \frac{30}{100}\times 15000=5625\text{units}$
Overall sales turnover $=16500000-(550\times 4500)+(660\times 5625)=17737500$
Value-wise market share =$\frac{660\times 5625}{17737500}\times 100=20.93\%$
