Overall revenue represents the revenues from all the seed segments in which company operates

Find the missing values and provide method chosen to compute the same.

MissingValues MethodChosen
1400 If we take Monsanto, 15% of its revenue is from rice, and 20% from Maize.
15% of 600(market size of rice) is 90.
Therefore, 370-90=280 is the market size of Monsanto’s maize.
Now if we take x*20%=280, we get 1400, which is the total market size of maize.

25% In DuPont, 15% of 350(Market size of Bajra) is 52.5.

403 (Market share of DuPont) – 52.5=350.5, which is the market share of DuPont for
maize.
So, 1400*y%=350.5, which will be 25.03%, 25% aggregate.
19.5% If we add up all the market shares of different players we get 100%.
Since we know all other values, we can find the value for others by,
(13+25+20+12.5+10+z)%=100%
 (80.5+z)%=100%
 z = 19.5%

961 Cotton: 15%*4500=675

Rice: 10%*600=60
Maize: 13%*1400=182
Bajra: 12.5%*350= 43.75
Adding all the values, we get= 960.75 which is 961 aggregate.
