Question 1

Table 14-1
The following data consists of a matrix of transition probabilities (P) of three competing companies,and the initial market share π(0) .Assume that each state represents a company (Company 1,Company 2,Company 3,respectively) and the transition probabilities represent changes from one month to the next.
P =   -Using the data in Table 14-1,determine Company 1's estimated market share in the next period. A) 0.10 B) 0.20 C) 0.42 D) 0.47 E) None of the above" class="answers-bank-image d-inline" rel="preload" > π(0) = (0.3,0.6,0.1)  
-Using the data in Table 14-1,determine Company 1's estimated market share in the next period.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 4

If we want to use Markov analysis to study market shares for competitive businesses,

Accepted Answer

A)  it is an inappropriate study.
B)  simply replace the probabilities with market shares.
C)  it can only accommodate one new business each period.
D)  only constant changes in the matrix of transition probabilities can be handled in the simple model.
E)  None of the aboveF) A) and D)
G) B) and C)

Question 5

There is a 30% chance that any current client of company A will switch to company B this year.There is a 20% chance that any client of company B will switch to company A this year.If these probabilities are stable over the years,and if company A has 1000 clients and company B has 1000 clients,in the long run (assuming the probabilities do not change),what will the market shares be?
