Bed and Breakfast business in Texas Assignment
WILL YOUR BUSINESS MAKE A PROFIT?
Keep in mind that we are still in the Bed and Breakfast business in Texas. You found an existing building or land and can grow faster than the Industry average. Porter’s Generic Model of Competition has helped you pin point an entry wedge with unique customers.
For Students Using Readers
This lesson starts with a multi-piece diagram. I will cover more details of Michael Porter’s Generic Model of Competition in the lesson that follows. I can’t use the exact image due to copyright laws. Let me describe my adapted model above. Barrowed from the “Twilight Zone,” imagine if you will.
The model is anchored with a long slender rectangle in the middle of the page. The rectangle recognizes the importance of the end user and measuring the customer’s value proposition. On each side of the rectangle are two smaller boxes for a total of four boxes. Coming from each box is an arrow facing the slender rectangle. The boxes represent arenas where firms can compete. Arena one is located in the top right-hand side and represents the Ford Automobile position of broad market and low cost. I designate arena one as one dollar sign. Located in the top left-hand corner, arena two is a box representing the Mercedes position or broad market differentiated. Arena two is characterized by two dollar signs.
Moving over to the bottom right-hand corner, arena three is a box that represents the Ferrari position of narrow market and special. Keep in mind that this product or service is expensive. Arena three is characterized by three dollar signs. If we look to the bottom left-hand side of the page we see arena four. Here we very high-end products and services such as the Bugatti Chiron position of an extremely narrow high-end market. Pricing is afforded by only a few high net worth individuals. Four dollar signs.
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to test the money aspect of the business. This will determine if we have a business, a pipe dream, or a hobby. This assignment will explain the differences between 1) cost and price, and 2) customer vs target market. Remember that each box above has a unique cost structure, pricing, target market, brand image, supply chain, and customer expectations. Once again, we shop at Walmart for painting clothes for a reason.
Mechanics
Start with chapter 8 and then page 98-103 of the textbook . (Please submit assignment as Lastname.Firstname.Financial.docx.)
Use the Excel spreadsheet I provided below. You will need to change the numbers to fit your situation. I have also inserted the typical averages for certain categories (in the cells) as per the industry report. The numbers in the cells should change as you change the revenue number. There is no need for you to find these on your own.
Next, you must determine the average sale per customer for your B&B concept. i.e. Do you have variable pricing due to seasonal fluctuations? Are you open seven days a week? Then multiple that by the number of days you are open for business times the daily customer count.
Assignment
Now, explain to me in a Word document where and how the numbers were derived. Also, share if you will be above industry averages or below and how/ why. i.e. The ratios for a single location restaurant may be higher than the average due to economies of scale. The key is to be as efficient as possible in order to make a profit. Start-up cash will cover the start-up expenses and real estate. You will bring 20% to the table and ask for a loan for the rest. Second year cash flow should provide breathing room on expenses. The point here is to make you aware of what it takes to run a successful restaurant.
Your written report should be key boarded, utilize the American Psychological Association (APA) citation format. Submit two pages of explanation in Word, a works cited page, and the Excel spreadsheet. Use 12 point Ariel font, 1/4 inch indentions, use page numbers, headings (1-2-3), and single line and character spacing. I am expecting a professional report that (a) demonstrates a command and understanding of the topic, (b) uses sound presentation logic and well thought through justifications, and (c) displays use of appropriate graphs, charts, and tables. Please answer the questions below.
