Answer to Question 1

Retailers are classified into four basic types by using the concepts of margin and turnover: (1) low margin, low turnover; (2) high margin, low turnover; (3) low margin, high turnover; and (4) high margin, and high turnover.
The low-margin, low-turnover is one that operates on a low gross margin percentage and a low rate of inventory turnover. The low-margin, low-turnover retailer is the least able to withstand a competitive attack because this retailer is usually unprofitable; when competition increases, profits are driven even lower.
The high-margin, high-turnover retailer is one that operates on a high gross margin percentage and a high rate of inventory turnover. The high-margin, high-turnover retailers can be very profitable. These retailers are in an excellent position to withstand and counter competitive threats because profit margins enable them to finance competitive price wars.
