2
.

The legal study
There is no legal constrains to establish the project, similar

The marketing study
Target customers and market segmentation
Geographic segmentation:
The target customers are AlRehab city and the surrounding
area residents.
Demographic segmentation
Middle to high income level.

The marketing study
Studying the potential market/ demand
Demand Gap
Through our market observations and testing we find a demand gap >
available market capacity.
The following schedule shows a simple weekly study of
potential market /target demand:

Studying the potential market/ demand, cont.,
Throughout the observations and conducted market survey,
we found the following:
Long waiting time.
Unsatisfied customers with the available service.
Lack of service quality.
Lack of some services like steam washing machines.

The marketing study
Demand estimation/ Projection of the Market demand, cont.,
The estimated population of AlRehab city is about 25,000
families, we assume 1 person per family.
We estimate the 60% of the apartments are occupied with
full residencies.
We estimated that the target customers owns 1.5 cars in
average.
We estimated the each customer will request the cleaning
service twice a month.
Our estimated actual target customers will be around 10%
of the customers pool .

The marketing study
Demand estimation/ Projection of the Market demand, cont.,
Population (n) 45,000
Sample accepted the product (d) 10%
Universe (K) 4,500
Expected demand over 1st year
D(t) = K * X' 319,500

The marketing study
Factors affecting the demand:
1. Estimation of demand changes due to population
changes R= 2%
2. Estimation of demand changes due to price changes: The
price should be left constant as this is a new project.
Xp=Ep*p
Where:
Xp: Change in demand as a result of change in price.
Ep: the partial elasticity of price.
p": the % of change in relative price.

The marketing study
Factors affecting the demand, cont.,:
3. Estimation of demand changes due to income changes:
Xy=Ey* y
6%=2%*3%
Where:
Xy": Change in demand as a result of change in income.
Ey: the partial income elasticity of demand.
y: the % of change in income

The marketing study
4. Estimation of demand changes due to advertising
changes:
The Number of people attracted due to advertising will decrease as
time passes.
Xa= Ea. a. bt

Years Xa= Ea *a * bt Xa
Y1 1.5%*2%*1% 3%
Y2 1.5%*2%*0.6% 1.80%
Y3 1.5%*2%*0.4% 1.20%
Y4 1.5%*2%*0.2% 0.60%
Y5 1.5%*2%*0.1% 0.30%

Xa: is the expected growth rate of demand caused by % change in advertising.
Ea: is the partial elasticity of advertising.
a: is the change in advertising spending.
bt: is the arbitrary factor that measures the change in sales caused by
advertising over time.

The marketing study
When combining all the four Factors:
Ft= r + xy + xp + xa

Ft R+xy+xp+xa %
Ft1 2%+6%+0+3% 11%

Ft5 2%+6%+0+0.3% 8.30%

R: rate of growth of population.
Xp: percentage changes in demand caused by change in relative prices.
Xy: expected growth rate of demand caused by change in per capita income.
Xa: expected growth rate of demand caused by advertising spending.

We assume that there will be no sales in Y0.

The financial study
Investment profitability analysis
1. Simple rate of return SRR

The simple rate of return is higher than the interest rate in the
market which is acceptable.

=
+ 100%

R0 = ( 0-254580 ) / 254580 (100.0)
R1 = ( 354645-264408+28600 ) / 254580 46.7
R2 = ( 389400-280519+28600 ) / 254580 54.0
R3 = ( 425225-298164+28600 ) / 254580 61.1
R4 = ( 461794-317492+28600 ) / 254580 67.9
R5 = ( 524123-338667+28600 ) / 254580 84.1

26
Where R is the simple rate of return, y is the cost of fund.
Y is the bank interest

2. Payback period PBP

The expected positive amount per day at the 3
rd
year = Cash out of
the 3
rd
year divided by 360 = 828.23
Remaining period = initial investment divided by expected positive
amount per day
The payback period is 2 year and 10 months which is
acceptable.

The economical study
the SRR is positive and greater than the interest rate found
in the market.
The payback period in the financial study is somewhere
between the second and third year,
The NET PRESENT VALUE is positive, which implies the
feasibility of the project.
The IRR ratio is equal to 27% which is higher than the
interest rate present in the market.
The project is acceptable and feasible.
