What asset-specific feature most directly explains why the floorplan MPR is the critical early-warning metric?

1. Floorplan receivables are non-amortizing and revolve as dealers sell inventory and finance new units, so a falling payment rate is the earliest sign that dealers are not turning inventory — the leading indicator of dealer distress
2. Floorplan loans carry fixed contractual amortization schedules much like standard auto loans, so MPR simply confirms scheduled amortization is on track and flags a missed installment before delinquency reports do
3. Floorplan MPR captures interest collections only rather than principal turnover, so it isolates yield compression before charge-offs show up on servicer reports, unlike the blended principal-plus-interest auto-loan MPR calculation used elsewhere
4. Floorplan pools have a single concentrated obligor type in the sponsoring manufacturers themselves, so MPR effectively measures manufacturer wholesale credit directly rather than reflecting individual dealer inventory turnover behavior
