The table below gives a detailed forecast of the size of the market by production volume. Assume that KMS expects to capture 10.20% of the market share in 2019 and expects that percentage will
increase by 0.27% per year. KMS currently has the capacity to produce a maximum of 1,100,000 units. What production capacity will KMS require each year? When will an expansion become
necessary (that is, when will production volume exceed 1,100,000 units)?
