PROBLEM
The management of the Book Warehouse Company wishes to apply the Miller-Orr model to manage its cash investment. They have determined that the cost of either investing in or selling marketable securities is $100. By looking at Book Warehouse’s past cash needs, they have determined that the variance of daily cash flows is $20,000. Book Warehouse’s opportunity cost of cash, per day, is estimated to be 0.03%. Based on experience, management has determined that the cash balance should never fall below $10,000.
4. How much is the variance of daily cash flows?(Use a number, no decimal value, no commas, no currency, no space) *
5. How much is the lower limit based on the Miller-Orr model of cash management? (Use a number, no decimal value, no commas, no currency, no space) *
6. How much is the opportunity cost of cash, per day? (Use a number, must be in decimal form. eg. 6.3%/100, encode 0.063 , no commas, no currency, no space) *

c) What is the total cost?
(Related to Checkpoint 13.1) (Forecasting cash flows using the expected value) Koch Transportation is contemplating the acquisition of LH Transport, a competing trucking firm. Koch's CFO estimates that during the next year LH Transport's
cash flows from the acquisition will vary depending on the state of the local economy:
a. Calculate the expected cash flow for next year using the estimates provided above.
b. Assume the probability of a recession increases to 38 percent, the normal scenario probability remains at 53 percent, and the expansion probability drops to only 9 percent. What is your estimate of the expected cash flow for next year under
these circumstances?
c. Your analysis of the acquisition suggests that for the investment to have at least a zero NPV, it must produce an annual expected cash flow of $83,610 per year over the next five years. Assuming that the cash flow you estimated in part a is the
expected cash flow for Years one through five, what would you like to know…

Seminole’s management has determined that the cost of either investing in or selling marketable securities is $200. By looking at Seminole Company’s past cash needs, they have determined that the variance of daily cash flows is $10,000. Seminole Company’s opportunity cost of cash, per day, is estimated to be 0.05%.

- Suppose that the investment demand curve in a certain economy is such that investment declines by $130 billion for every 1 percentage point increase in the real interest rate. Also, suppose that the investment demand curve shifts rightward by $150 billion at each real interest rate for every 1 percentage point increase in the expected rate of return from investment. If stimulus spending (an expansionary fiscal policy) by government increases the real interest rate by 2 percentage points, but also raises the expected rate of return on investment by 1 percentage point, how much investment, if any, will be crowded out?

- Expected sales in the forthcoming year is $ 50,00. The firm plans to stick to the following policies towards the working capital; Debtors would be maintained at 30 days of sales, Creditors would be maintained at 30 days of cost of sales and Inventories would be maintained at 30 days of cost of sales. Assume that the firm wants to keep Working capital sufficient to finance Expected Credit Sales for the length of the Cash Cycle, how much working capital would the firm need?
