Pricing & Costing
• Market Research on Pricing and Costing
- Existing rental rates/ball at courts is RM35 per ball/hour
- Average usage per ball is about 4 hours per day (mainly in the evenings and weekends)
- Average year of operation is 300 days (the remaining days for cleaning and maintenance of ball)
- Total income per ball/year is RM42 000 (RM35 X 4 hours X 300 days)
- Commission payable to court is 50% therefore, net income = RM21 000
- Advertisements, overheads, maintenance and storage are 70% of the net income = 29400
- Net income after deducting marketing and overheads = RM12 600 (30% X RM42 000)
• Cost Price = RM320 per ball + delivery and handling charges = RM500 assuming with a lifespan of 6 months per ball (heavy usage). The return is RM12600/1000 = 12.6% per annum which is very comfortable indeed.
• Payback period per ball = RM500 X 2/(RM12600/365days) = 29 active days which is a very sound investment indeed.
• Minimum initial investment = 1 Lot = 70 balls or 70 X RM500 = RM35 000
What’s So Good About It?
• Limited liability
• Separate entity
• Perception
• Ownership and succession
• Take home pay
Profit for next 3 years
• First year = 332112
• Second year = 332112 x 120% = 398534.4
• Third year = 398534.4 x 120 %= 478241.30
Assume that profit will increase 20 % everey year
