RATIONALE

Keeping the individual distributor RoI at 22%, we can maximise the reach of marginal outlets using
minimal number of wholesale stores.
Compensating the RoI using premium stores would mean more number of premium stores and lesser
number of marginal stores as compared to compensation through wholesale stores
Two solutions have been presented one with marginal outlets assumed to be serviced at a cost of 8.1%
and one at the cost of 3% with the benefit of progressive growth at (N+6)
While doubling it is assumed that there are sufficient number of stores available in all channels;
similarly the new composition after doubling will not reduce the of wholesale, premium or mass retail
