The following data consists of a matrix of transition probabilities (P) of three competing companies, the initial market share state 16_10.gif(1), and the equilibrium probability states. Assume that each state represents a firm (Company 1, Company 2, and Company 3, respectively) and the transition probabilities represent changes from one month to the next. The market share of Company 1 in the next period is
