    Sample Questions & Answers

    What changes is the company seeing in the manufacturing industries it serves?

      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.
