Financially Viable
In order for Disney to expand to Mexico, our group has had to look at a multitude of factors, from opportunities, risks, threats, marketing plans, pricing strategies, and risk mitigation strategies to name a few. Based on all of our groups research, we determined that expanding to Mexico is financially viable. In this section we will start with initial start up costs that Disney will have to incur in year 0. After year 0, we will discuss total operation cost factors and potential revenue Disney expects in the first year. Finally, we will discuss total subscribership and expected revenues starting in year 1.
So what startup costs will Disney have to incur in year 0? The Costs of Goods Sold (COGS) refers to the direct costs it takes to produce goods sold by a company (Hayes, 2019). This includes costs like labor costs, materials etc. Per our group’s Income Statement, we have determined our COGS to be $286,434.
Followed by COGS, we will look at Operating costs, which include translation for programming, advertising, research and development (includes maintenance and improvements), selling, general and administrative (Disney’s Income Statement). Operating expenses will be expenses every year our firm is in operation. Our first expense-translations for programming will include services like dubbing, subtitles and experienced translations services. Our Income statement has valued this cost at $100,000 per year. Keep in mind translation costs could vary depending on the number of new content Disney produces in a given year. Disney’s next operational cost is advertising. Using a combination of television adverting, web advertising and social media advertising (Group 1 Week 9 Paper), costs are estimated at $400,000. This price is much lower than Netflix’s $2 billion dollars advertising budget, but Disney will have the option of lowering or escalating their advertising budget as needed. Furthermore, with our main brand recognition, having a lower advertising budget would be wise. Next on the Operational cost list is research and development. These costs include creating a friendly and usable user interface, maintenance and creating fixes to bugs as they occur. R&D funds creating a user friendly interface is vital for Disney to succeed regardless of what country Disney decides to expand to (Karn, 2014). R&D will be estimated at $200,000. Our last operational cost category is selling, general and administrative costs, which include employee salaries, and other administrative costs, which we have totaled at $1,270,000. Total Operational costs will be $1,970,000.
Within year 0, we are estimating $0 revenue, because year 0 will be dedicated to building up our SVOD service. So our total expenses will be total cost revenue+ Operational costs, which puts us at $2,256, 434. However, given Disney’s other Lines of Business revenue streams, they will be able to absorb these start up costs.
In Year 1, our group will also assume operational ...

1. Financially Viable
In order for Disney to expand to Mexico, our group has
had to look at a multitude of factors, from opportunities, risks,
threats, marketing plans, pricing strategies, and risk mitigation
strategies to name a few. Based on all of our groups research,
we determined that expanding to Mexico is financially viable.
In this section we will start with initial start up costs that
Disney will have to incur in year 0. After year 0, we will
discuss total operation cost factors and potential revenue Disney
expects in the first year. Finally, we will discuss total
subscribership and expected revenues starting in year 1.
So what startup costs will Disney have to incur in year 0?
The Costs of Goods Sold (COGS) refers to the direct costs it
takes to produce goods sold by a company (Hayes, 2019). This
includes costs like labor costs, materials etc. Per our group’s
Income Statement, we have determined our COGS to be
$286,434.
Followed by COGS, we will look at Operating costs, which
include translation for programming, advertising, research and
development (includes maintenance and improvements), selling,
general and administrative (Disney’s Income Statement).
Operating expenses will be expenses every year our firm is in
operation. Our first expense-translations for programming will
include services like dubbing, subtitles and experienced
translations services. Our Income statement has valued this cost
at $100,000 per year. Keep in mind translation costs could vary
depending on the number of new content Disney produces in a
given year. Disney’s next operational cost is advertising. Using
a combination of television adverting, web advertising and
social media advertising (Group 1 Week 9 Paper), costs are
estimated at $400,000. This price is much lower than Netflix’s
$2 billion dollars advertising budget, but Disney will have the
option of lowering or escalating their advertising budget as
needed. Furthermore, with our main brand recognition, having a
2. lower advertising budget would be wise. Next on the
Operational cost list is research and development. These costs
include creating a friendly and usable user interface,
maintenance and creating fixes to bugs as they occur. R&D
funds creating a user friendly interface is vital for Disney to
succeed regardless of what country Disney decides to expand to
(Karn, 2014). R&D will be estimated at $200,000. Our last
operational cost category is selling, general and administrative
costs, which include employee salaries, and other administrative
costs, which we have totaled at $1,270,000. Total Operational
costs will be $1,970,000.
Within year 0, we are estimating $0 revenue, because year 0
will be dedicated to building up our SVOD service. So our total
expenses will be total cost revenue+ Operational costs, which
puts us at $2,256, 434. However, given Disney’s other Lines of
Business revenue streams, they will be able to absorb these start
up costs.
In Year 1, our group will also assume operational expenses will
be the same; and there will be $0 dollars in cost of revenue. So
our total operational costs for year 1 would be $1,970,000. As
mentioned earlier, some of these operational costs will fluctuate
year to year, given circumstances.
Now we will discuss subscribership goals, and potential
revenues from those goals. Since we are proposing several
different options, which will include getting Disney+ and
HULU separately at $4.99 each or getting both SVOD services
for a total of $7.99 total; our group is expecting different levels
of interest depending on the type of customer. We are
predicting, more potential customers will aim towards our
bundled SVOD service package of HULU and Disney+, given
its’ value. Our group is expecting a total of 38,000,000
subscribers total, within the first year (Disney’s Income
Statement). We break up our plan into 3 categories- 1.
Customers who only sign up for Disney+, 2. Customers that
only sign up for HULU, and 3. Customers that sign up for the
bundled package. Our group has estimated that HULU and
3. Disney+ separately will get 9,000,000 subscribers each.
Disney’s Income statement also estimates they will have
20,000,000 subscribers for their bundled Disney+ and HULU
package. So Disney is expecting a Net Income of $151,634,000.
As per Groups 1’s previous paper, we expect subscribership to
grow after year 1, as our original content expands, raising
revenues. Disney’s breakeven point will be less than a year.
Major Risk Factors Regarding Projections and Assumptions
Our operating expense variables will be fairly stable in
year 1 and beyond; however, operating expenses will change
from year to year depending on Disney’s needs. For example
after the first year, If Disney finds that they need to increase
their advertising budget or R&D budget, they will have room to
do so, given revenue streams are accurately described as in the
previous section suggests. Overall, operational costs will be low
risk and can be managed as issues arise. Furthermore, Disney
will be able to cover costs from other Lines of Business as
needed.
Since Disney is already entering a market that is Netflix
centric; they will have to prove their value and worth in the
Mexican market. Disney’s major risk factor, is subscribership
not reaching our intended goals. For example, if subscribership
is significantly underwhelming, Disney may not be able to
justify startup costs (year 0)+ Year1 costs; If subscribership is
at what Group 1 predicted or higher, than Disney will be in a
good position. If subscribership starts out low and slow going,
Disney should consider- is our platform/interface user-friendly
and easy to use; do we need to be more active in advertising
etc.? In other words the number of subscribers is key to
Disney’s success, especially given the already high demand for
Netflix in Mexico.

9.1 Introduction
[The purpose of this document is to provide general content of a
Cost Management Plan and to describe submission required in
Microsoft Project format (.mpp file).]
Cost Management
Plan
[A cost management Plan defines cost baseline, modifies it
whenever necessary, and uses it for monitoring and controlling
cost. A project cost management plan generally includes
descriptions, procedures and responsibilities for items such as
Costs included, activity resource estimating, cost estimating,
cost baseline, budget determination and cost control.]
9.2 Estimate Cost
[Estimate Cost is a process of developing an approximation of
monetary resources needed to complete project activities.]
9.3 Contingency Reserve Project Purpose or Justification
[Contingency reserve is money assigned to the project and
allocated for identified risks for which contingent responses are
developed. Generally, how much money is reserved and its
14. rationale are included here.]
9.4 Budget
[Once the project costs or cost baseline is determined, a time-
phased project budget is developed. Project budget shows how
the project cost will be incurred by appropriate periods (months,
weeks, quarter, etc.) during project performance period.
Describe how your budget is developed.]
Cost Control and
Monitoring
[The approved project budget with contingency reserves serves
as a baseline for project control. This section usually include
project approach to monitor actual versus planned performance,
approach ( e.g. Earned Value analysis), and how any cost
changes will be managed.]
9.5 Performance Monitoring
[Describe your approach to monitor planned versus actual
performance and matrices that will be used]
9.6 Project Reports
[Include name and description of 2 to 3 reports that you plan to
use for performance monitoring, status reporting or other
reports. These are the reports for which you will be submitting
a Microsoft Project mpp file. See section below. ]

The Project Charter is the document issued by the project
initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a
project and provides the project manager with the authority to
apply organizational resources to project activities. It
17. documents the high-level information on the project and on the
product, service or result the project is intended to satisfy.
The Project Charter is developed on the basis of the Business
Documents, the Agreements on project implementation and
other information like enterprise environmental factors and
organizational process assets.
The Charter is developed by individual(s) external to the
project, such as the sponsor, project management office (PMO)
or the portfolio governing body. The project initiator or sponsor
should be at a level that is appropriate to procure funding for
the project. They either develop the Charter themselves or
delegate this responsibility to the Project Manager. The
initiator’s signature on the Project Charter authorizes the
project.>

<This section describes the general characteristics of this
document folder and the set of documents to which it refers.
These general provisions can be modified or supplemented in
accordance with the particular project requirements.>
This document refers to the project "<Project Name>", which is
implemented by the organization "<Organization Name>".
The Project Charter formulates the practical requirements and
documents the high-level description of the product, service or
other deliverable that should meet these requirements and will
be result of the project.
The Project Charter is issued and signed by the Initiator or
Sponsor of the project and formally legitimized the existence of
the project. It provides the Project Manager with the authority
to use the organizational assets in the project operations.
The approved Project Charter formally initiates the project.
If the project consists of several phases, the Charter can be
updated to verify or improve the decisions taken during the
previous iteration of the Project Charter development. In such a
case the Charter is re-issued and signed as amended.
Terms, Notations, Abbreviations
<This section should contain the definitions of all terms and
abbreviations required to properly interpret this document,
arranged in alphabetical order. This information can be
presented in the form of the following table, or as a reference to
a Project Glossary in the Communications Management Plan.>
20. Term/Abbreviation
Definition
Project Purpose
<This section briefly describes the purpose of the project and its
justification. The justification describes the necessary
information from a business standpoint to determine whether or
not the project is worth the required investment. Justification
describes one or more of the following factors:
· Market demand (e.g., a car company authorizing a project to
build more fuel-efficient cars in response to gasoline shortages)
· Organizational need (e.g., a training company authorizing a
project to create a new course to increase its revenues)
· Customer request (e.g., an electric utility authorizing a project
to build a new substation to serve a new industrial park)
· Technological advance (e.g., an electronics firm authorizing a
new project to develop a faster, cheaper and smaller laptop after
advances in computer memory and electronics technology)
· Legal requirement (e.g., a paint manufacturer authorizing a
project to establish guidelines for handling toxic materials)
· Ecological impacts (e.g., a company authorizing a project to
lessen its environmental impact)
· Social need (e.g., a nongovernmental organization in a
21. developing country authorizing a project to provide potable
water systems, latrines and sanitation education to communities
suffering from high rates of cholera).
These factors may also be called incentives, opportunities or
business requirements. The basic point of all these factors is
that management should decide what the response should be to
them, and what projects should be authorized and fixed in the
Charter.>
Measurable Project Goals and Objectives
<This section describes the business goals and the project
objectives aimed at achieving those goals. Business goals
should be measurable and explain WHY the organization is
doing the project (i.e. increase profits/market share; decrease
costs/waste). Project objectives should explain WHAT the
project should attain, including any related success criteria. All
project objectives should be traceable to a business goal, and all
project goals should have at least one project objective. >

Revenue forecast and assumptions
For Disney+ and Hulu streaming service first year in Mexico,
the annual forecastrevenues is expect to reach $ 216,620,000
with 38,000,000 subscribers. Disney+ will enter into the
Mexico streaming market by providing a low price with bundle
service to compete with its competitors. First, we will be
assuming that we will have at least a 14% increase of new
Disney+ subscribers. After six months our subscribers will
increase by a little more than 10% every month.
We also forecast Disney+ subscribers will continue to grow
each month and there's no reason to believe that won't continue.
By the end of the fourth quarter, revenue will reach up to
$86,648,000. This will be accomplished by not only growing
subscriber base but also by the company's pricing power. We
27. are also assuming the average subscription price (ASP) grew 3%
year over year, and excluding the impact of foreign exchange
headwinds, international ASP increased by 6%.
The method used for this study is combination of aggressive and
conservative methods, which eminently works best for Disney+.
The assumptions made for forecasting are as follows:
· Offer different contents Hulu only, Disney+, and bundle
· Entry price are lower than competitors
· The revenues are expected to increase by more than 10% after
6 month
· Estimate to have 38,000,000 subscribers by at the end of the
first year
· Partner with local cellular company to attract more subscribers

Disney + Operation Forecast and Assumption Summary
Regardless, short- and medium-term financial projections are a
required part of your business plan if you want serious attention
from investors. The financial section of your business plan
should include a sales forecast, expenses budget, cash flow
statement, balance sheet, and a profit and loss statement.
At a glance Disney+ forecasting is predicting future
performance of the organization for the first year. The company
is projected to spend almost $1,970,000 dollars by multiplying
units times prices to calculate sales within the first year to get
the company going in the right direction to be successful in
Mexico.
Disney + will have to spend a lot of money to advertise its
SVOD in Mexico to have a successful break through that will
cost the company almost $400,000 dollars. International
Television — The Company also licenses its films outside of the
U.S. The typical windowing sequence is consistent with the
domestic cycle such that titles premiere on VOD services and
then on pay TV or SVOD services before airing in free TV.
Windowing strategies are developed in response to local market
practices and conditions, and the exact sequence and length of
each window can vary in Mexico.
