BTS Inc. has concluded that P 12 million in cash is needed per week. BTS
Inc. can sell its marketable securities for P 100 for each transaction if it
requires additional cash. BTS Inc. should have earned 7% every week if the
cash is invested in marketable securities. Using the Baumol Model (EOQ),
How much should BTS Inc. raise each week through the sale of securities
to minimize its total cost? (Use a number, no decimal value, no currency,
no space, no commas)
The Sandbox's Company has cash needs of P5 million per month. If Sandbox needs more cash, it can sell marketable securities, incurring a fee of P300 for each transaction. If Sandbox leaves its funds in marketable securities, it expects to earn approximately 0.50% per month on their investment.
1. Using the Baumol model, how much would be the Sandbox’s minimum total costs associated with cash infusion?
2. If Sandbox gets a cash infusion of P1 million each time it needs cash, what are the holding costs associated with its cash investment?
3. Using the Baumol model, what level of cash infusion minimizes Sandbox’s costs associated with cash?
HotFoot Shoes would like to maintain its cash account at a minimum level of $42,000, but expects the

transaction.
What will be its optimal cash return point? (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations
