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 A Company wishes to apply the Miller-Orr model to manage its cash investment. A's management has determined that the cost of either investing in or selling marketable securities is $200. By looking at A Company’s past cash needs, they have determined that the variance of daily cash flows is $10,000. A Company’s opportunity cost of cash, per day, is estimated to be 0.05%. A management has figured, based on their experience dealing with the cash flows of the company, that there should be a cushion— a safety stock—of cash of $20,000. Calculate the lower limit, the return point, and the upper limit based on the Miller-Orr model of cash management.
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?
