Answer:

Option "B" is the correct answer to the following question.

Explanation:

Given:

Price elasticity of Anne’s apple pies = 5

Aggregate market price elasticity = 1.25

Anne’s apple pies have an approximate market share = ?

Computation of Anne’s apple pies have an approximate market share:

Anne’s apple pies have an approximate market share = (Aggregate market price elasticity / Price elasticity of Anne’s apple pies) × 100

Anne’s apple pies have an approximate market share = (1.25 / 5) × 100

Anne’s apple pies have an approximate market share = (0.25) × 100

Anne’s apple pies have an approximate market share = 25%
