    Sample Questions & Answers

    How does the company plan for uneven investment returns on its real estate holdings?

    Returns on real estate investment fluctuate with the health of the national economy. Amid the late 2000s recession, an average of 500,000 new households were formed each year between 2007 and 2010, less than half the annual rate for the previous...

     

    What instruments does the company use to raise capital for real estate investments?

    Because investing in real estate is risky, capital to fund acquisitions or construction can be difficult to obtain. Real estate is often highly leveraged and illiquid. In down markets, equity in real estate projects can rapidly disappear, leaving...

      Sample Questions & Answers

      How has the company managed fluctuations in business and leisure travel?

      Air travel is closely connected to the strength of the US economy, partly because of business travel and partly because personal travel depends heavily on income. Terrorism or natural disaster fears can easily prompt tourists to cancel vacation plans.

       

      How is the agency addressing increased online competition?

      Travelers can easily pass over traditional travel agents and third party travel websites by booking directly with airlines and hotels. In order to remain competitive, large online travel agents such as Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz, have...

        Overview

        NAICS: 423130

         

        Sample Questions & Answers

        How sharply would the company be affected if it lost its main supplier?

        Most wholesalers depend highly on a few large suppliers. Because of industry consolidation in the past decade, the four largest manufacturers account for 75 percent of US production. Consequently, wholesalers have reduced power to negotiate favorable...

         

        How does the company protect itself from higher fuel costs?

        Because they distribute a heavy product with a fairly low profit margin, tire wholesalers are vulnerable to increases in fuel costs, as prices for gas or diesel can increase 50 percent within a year. If higher delivery costs are passed to customers,...
