Market Share
Market share is the ratio of sales
of a brand, company, or industry to the total sales of that same category
in a defined area (county, continent, etc.). Market share is usually
presented as a percentage, although sometimes a raw number of sales or
units is provided. If the total raw number is also provided, you can calculate
the market share percentage by dividing the brand's number by the total
number, and multiplying the results by 100.

Financial Ratios
- One of the ways to evaluate the performance of any given company is by comparing
that company to other companies or its industry. Financial ratios provide
a means and standard of comparison. Many financial elements, such as inventory
size, are validated by their relationship/ratio to other elements in a
company's financial record, such as sales. Comparing these ratios to similar
asset-sized companies or to the industry can result in a better understanding
of the health of a company.
