              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.

                How does the company mitigate volatile material costs?

                Although price increases can often be passed to consumers, building material and supply dealers that maintain large inventories can be hurt if prices move sharply. Lumber prices, especially, can be volatile, affected by changing demand, domestic...

                  Competitive Landscape Brief

                  Consumer income, home sales, and leisure activity trends drive demand in garden centers; the general health of the farming sector, which is tied to crop and livestock prices and consumer consumption patterns, drives demand in farm supply stores. The profitability of individual companies depends on effective merchandising and marketing, competitive pricing, and the ability to secure convenient locations. Large companies have advantages in purchasing, distribution, finance, and marketing and can better serve large customers. Small companies can compete effectively by offering specialty products, providing superior customer service, or serving a local market. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is more than $300,000. Competition includes home centers, hardware stores, mass merchandisers, and Internet and catalog retailers. Farm supply stores also compete with farm cooperatives, which allow small farms to combine purchasing power and enjoy volume discounts.
