Indicate interest calculation parameters. There are different variations to find the share of sales, their choice depends on the purpose of its analysis. Thus, the specific weight can be defined:• In current and comparable prices (in the first case a reference point are accepted the real value of the goods for which they are being implemented in the second – price is excluding allowances);• At different time intervals (as the most popular use year, quarter, month, but other options are possible);• In relation to the last or base period;• On the basis of internal and external information.
