Answer 1

Based on the given market demand and Digby's current market share, Digby should expect to sell approximately 348 units of the DIM product in the primary segment for the upcoming year.

To calculate the expected units of the DIM product that Digby should sell in the upcoming year in the primary segment, assuming the market share remains the same, we need to follow these steps:

1. Identify the Total Market Demand: This is given in the "Elite Statistics" section.

2. *Identify Digby's Current Market Share for the DIM Product**: This can be found in the bar chart labeled "Actual vs Potential Market Share 2015" for the Elite segment.

3. Calculate the Projected Sales**: Multiply the total market demand by Digby's market share.

The "Elite Statistics" section mentions the total industry unit demand and actual industry unit sales as 3,478 units. Assuming this is the total market demand for the upcoming year and that the segment growth rate won't change the total units significantly, we can use this figure for our calculations.

Digby's current market share for the DIM product appears to be 10% as shown in the "Actual vs Potential Market Share 2015" chart.

Let's calculate Digby's expected sales for the DIM product for the upcoming year:

`\[ \text{Expected Sales} = \text{Total Market Demand} * \text{Digby's Market Share} \]`

`\[ \text{Expected Sales} = 3,478 * 0.10 \]`

`\[ \text{Expected Sales} = 347.8 \]`

Since we cannot sell a fraction of a unit, we would round this number to the nearest whole unit. The closest options provided are 342 or 348. Let's see which one is closer to the actual calculation.

Based on the given market demand and Digby's current market share, Digby should expect to sell approximately 348 units of the DIM product in the primary segment for the upcoming year.

However, the options provided do not include 348. It's possible that there may be a rounding discrepancy or additional context needed that's not visible in the image provided. Among the given choices, 342 would be the result of rounding down, but this is not standard rounding practice. The closest provided option that matches standard rounding practice is 348, which is not listed. Therefore, based on standard calculations and rounding, none of the options perfectly match the calculated figure. Please review the options or the details provided to ensure there is no missing information that would affect the calculation.
