                Sample Questions & Answers

                How does the company prepare for real estate cycles?

                Demand for new residential buildings can change rapidly, depending on the economy and interest rates: from 1986 to 1991, annual US home construction dropped 40 percent; from 1995 to 2005, it increased 75 percent; and from 2006 to 2010, it fell 65...

                 

                How does the company protect itself from changes in home prices?

                Because a large number of homes are built speculatively, builders bear the risk that changing market conditions will produce lower selling prices than they'd anticipated. In some markets, home prices can be highly cyclical. Even in markets where...

                  Sample Questions & Answers

                  How do changes in interest rates affect the company's profits?

                  Because many distributors finance their inventories, they're sensitive to interest rates. On average, distributors hold inventory equal to 35 days sales, but machinery distributors may hold products for more than 50 days. Food and petroleum product...

                   

                  How much business has the company lost due to retailers buying directly from manufacturers?

                  Big retailers like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Costco buy much of their merchandise directly from manufacturers, bypassing distributors. Because they buy in large quantity and operate their own warehouse systems, these retailers don't need distributors.

                    Sample Questions & Answers

                    How does the firm adapt to lower demand during economic slowdowns?

                    Many corporate customers cut outside expenses or delay major projects when profits are low. The revenue of many professional firms dropped during the late 2000s recession; particularly hard-hit were advertising, engineering, and IT services firms.

                     

                    How does the firm mitigate the risk that customers will sue?

                    Because of the greater involvement of professional firms in the operations of corporate customers, firms face greater risk of blame or liability if their advice proves faulty. Customers are quicker to blame advisers, and regulators are more likely to...

                      End-user demand for industrial chemicals can vary sharply from year to year, depending mainly on manufacturing activity. Production of basic chemicals can fall significantly during a recession and take several years to recover. Production of plastic...
