      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.

            Competitive Landscape Brief

            Because chemicals are used to make a wide variety of industrial and consumer products, demand is driven by the overall health of the US economy. The profitability of individual companies is closely tied to efficient operations. Big companies have large economies of scale in production. Small companies can compete effectively by producing specialty products, of which there are a large number, or by operating a single plant highly efficiently. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $900,000. Because they often have a high value-to-weight ratio, many chemicals are traded internationally and many US manufacturers have production plants overseas. The largest sources of US chemical imports are Ireland and Canada. The biggest export markets for US chemicals are Canada and Mexico.
