Category: Entreprenuership

 
Scenario: You are an entrepreneur that has several business investments in real estate, restaurants, and retail stores. You are looking for your next investment opportunity for you and your private equity investment company, recall that you are deciding between three investments. You have heard of an Expert who has a “track record” of high confidence in correctly identifying when market conditions are favorable or not. You are now considering whether to consult this “expert” and if it would be worth paying his fee to get his prediction. So you are going to do further analysis to determine the value of this information that the expert might provide.
In order to simply the analysis a bit, you have decided to look at two possible outcomes for each alternative instead of three. You are interested in whether the market will be Favorable or Unfavorable, so you have collapsed the Medium and Low outcomes. Here are the three alternatives with the adjusted NPV outcome and probabilities.
Option A: Real estate development. This is a risky opportunity with the possibility of a high payoff, but also with no payoff at all. You have reviewed all of the possible data for the outcomes in the next 10 years and these are your estimates of the Net Present Value of the cash flow and probabilities.
High/Favorable NPV: $5 million, Pr = 0.5
Unfavorable NPV: $1.2 million, Pr = 0.5
Option B: Retail franchise for Just Hats, a boutique type store selling fashion hats for men and women. This also is a risky opportunity but less so than option A. It has the potential for less risk of failure, but also a lower payoff. You have reviewed all of the possible data for the outcomes in the next 10 years and these are your estimates of the Net Present Value of the cash flow and probabilities.
High/Favorable NPV: $3.4 million, Pr = 0.75
Unfavorable NPV: $2 million, Pr = 0.25
Note that this option requires less investment, so there is $0.2 million available, which will be invested in the same bonds as Option C. The NPV of this investment in this option (B) is $0.4 million. This has been added to NPV for the Favorable and Unfavorable outcomes of the boutique.
Option C: High Yield Municipal Bonds. This option has low risk and is assumed to be a Certainty. So there is only one outcome with probability of 1.0
NPV: $1.5 million, Pr = 1.0
You have contacted the Expert and received a letter stating his track record which you have checked out by several resources. Here is his stated track record:
True State of the Market
Expert Prediction Favorable Unfavorable
Predicts “Favorable” .9 .3
Predicts “Unfavorable” .1 .7
You realize that this situation is a bit complicated since it requires the expert to analyze and predict the state of two different markets: the real estate market and the retail hat market. You think through the issues of probabilities and how to calculate the joint probabilities of both markets going up, both going down, or one up and the other down. Base on your original estimates of success, here are your calculations of the single probabilities and joint probabilities of the markets.
Probabilities Favorable Unfavorable
A: Real Estate 0.50 0.50
B: Just Hats 0.75 0.25

Joint Probabilities
A Fav, B Fav (A+, B+) 0.375
A Unf, B Unf (A-, B-) 0.125
A Fav, B Unf (A+, B-) 0.125
A Unf, B Fav (A-, B+) 0.375
Finally, after a great deal of analysis and calculations, you have determined the Posterior probabilities of Favorable and Unfavorable Markets for the Real Estate business and the boutique hat business.
Real Estate Just Hats
F U F U
0.45 says “F/F” 0.75 0.25 0.90 0.10
0.15 says “F/U” 0.75 0.25 0.30 0.70
0.30 says “U/F” 0.125 0.875 0.90 0.10
0.10 says “U/U” 0.125 0.875 0.30 0.70
For example, this table says that there is 45% chance that the expert will predict Favorable for both markets (F/F), and when he makes this prediction, there is a 75% chance that the Real Estate market will be favorable and 25% chance that it won’t, and also a 90% chance that the Hat market will be Favorable and 10% chance it won’t.
You have developed a decision tree showing the original collapsed solution and also showing an expanded decision tree for evaluating the value of the expert’s information. You need to enter the probabilities into this tree to see if the expert’s information will increase the overall expected value of your decision. See attachment with the Excel file with the incomplete decision tree.
Assignment: : (Must use Heading for paragraphs)
Complete the information in the decision tree in the Excel file. Determine the Expected NPV of the decision if you were to consult the Expert. Does this increase the value of your analysis? By how much?

The primary task for this assignment is to undertake a personal research project that explores the “lifeworld” of an entrepreneur, discussing and evaluating the pressures and complexities associated with running a small business in the 21st Century.

Brief about company:
Face of Man Private Limited was founded by Chris Chua & Adam Chua both are twin brothers. The
company was established on 1993 & has been around for 22 years. 10 years into the opening James
Teo join in as the third partner. Face of Man Private Limited provides skin care treatment for man, it
has three stores located in Singapore. Idea for the business was from Chris Chua.
Questions:
1. How you came upon starting your business venture?
Ans: When I (Chris Chua) was in the army, I was a medic working with doctor Singh, Most of
the NS Men had skin problems due to poor hygiene & couldn’t seek proper treatments as
there isn’t any, only option was that doctor Singh prescribed sulphur cream or Antibiotics
which wasn’t much effective but caused scaring. From my observations Acne was a skin
disease & man couldn’t get the treatment as to social constraints from society and doesn’t
feel comfortable in seeking help as it’s not manly. After raising this issue to Doctor Singh, he
said that there isn’t any salon that caters to man in Singapore but in the UK there are many.
Which allowed me to embark to UK for further research and studies. I had financial
constraints as my family wasn’t well off and my brother Adam had to pay for my studies
abroad not covering my daily expenses which led me in seeking for a job. I was offered a job
with a duck rice stall and was provided with lodging for two years during the course of my
studies. I left home out of impulse because my parents were doubting my ability to succeed.
After 2 years I graduated with a diploma in skin care. Working for the duck rice restaurant
only allowed me for lodging, meals & expenses. As I needed an extra income for my savings I
took up another job, scooping snow at Nottinghill. It was very cold & couldn’t afford for the
winter clothing. On one night I was scooping snow for this old couples, I got very tired and
cold so I sat on the roof and started cursing the sky “why is my life like this” then i said “no
matter what I will open up a salon in Singapore and become successful”. That was the
turning point. After coming back to Singapore I was short in my savings so worked as a flight
stewardess. With the amount I saved, i set up a salon at Sydney Australia but ended up
selling the business to a German lady because after realising that the market wasn’t good
enough to sustain the business, I didn’t wanted to set up in Singapore as I assumed
Singapore wasn’t ready. After that in 1993 I officially open Face of Man Private Limited in
Singapore with my twin brother as my partner.
2. How do you choose the right kind of people to bring into your organization that would care
for the business as you do?
Ans: When picking the right people we look for people with team work & are service
oriented. Having partners has its pros & cons, so we should have a balance of understanding,
e.g. knowing each other strength and tasked them to play that role in the business that
would be advantageous to the company. Tap on each other strength.
3. How crucial is it to have good employees to make your company successful?
Ans: Employees are crucial to the success because they’re the front line. & good customer
service should start from the top level as to say the management so it’ll flow down till the
frontline employees. I got this theory is from my own experience on researches of books.
We value our customer feedbacks, whenever we get feedbacks we look into it seriously. As
there is the internet, it may ruin the company’s reputation by bad reviews online. Be true at
what you do, honesty.
4. If you were given the chance to start to restart your career, would you do it any other way?

everything with black and white meaning official documentation.
