'Car Care' Project feasibility study, Sep.,20092

Introduction
 Car-Care center is a car service center that is specialized in
providing interior and exterior car cleaning
 The following services will be offered:
• Water washing,
• Steam washing,
• Car polishing,
• Carpet cleaning,
• Air condition odor cleaning
• etc..

The location study
 The project will be located in Al Rehab city
 AlRehab service area has a good advantage of serving
residents of new Cairo.
 The service area has other competitors providing low
service.
 The shop has the area of 100 m2.

The legal study
 There is no legal constrains to establish the project, similar
small scale project already operating in the city for long
time without obligations.
 Commercial registration documents and tax file are
required.

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:

The marketing study
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

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 customer‟s 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
11

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*Δp
Where:
“Xp”: Change in demand as a result of change in price.
“Ep”: the partial elasticity of price.
“Δp": 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* Δy
6%=2%*3%
Where:
“Xy": Change in demand as a result of change in income.
“Ey”: the partial income elasticity of demand.
“Δy”: 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.
“Δa”: 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%
Ft2 2%+6%+0+1.8% 9.80%
Ft3 2%+6%+0+1.2% 9.20%
Ft4 2%+6%+0+0.6% 8.60%
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.
15

The marketing study
 We assume that there will be no sales in Y0.
Years Ft Dt+1=Dt*(1+Ft)
Y0 0% 319,500
Y1 11% 354,645
Y2 9.80% 389,400

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.
𝑅 =
𝐶𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑖𝑛 − 𝑐𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑜𝑢𝑡 + 𝑦 ∗ 100%
𝐼𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
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

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

Investment profitability analysis, cont.,
2. Payback period – PBP
• The expected positive amount per day at the 3rd year = Cash out of
the 3rd 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.
