DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL is a way of selling a company's product either directly or through distributors, e.g. wholesalers or small retailers.
DAYS INVENTORY shows the average length of time items are in inventory, i.e., how many days a business could continue selling using only its existing inventory. The goal, in most cases, is to demonstrate efficiency through having a high turnover rate and therefore a low days' inventory. However, realize that this ratio can be unfavorable if either too high or too low. A company must balance the cost of carrying inventory with its unit and acquisition costs. The cost of carrying inventory can be 25% to 35%. These costs include warehousing, material handling, taxes, insurance, depreciation, interest and obsolescence. Formula: Inventory / (Net Revenue / 365).
COMPOUND INTEREST PRINCIPLE is where the interest is computed on principal plus interest earned in previous periods.
