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. 1. How much is the cost per transaction?(Use a number, no decimal value, no commas, no currency, no space) * 2. How much is the return point based on the Miller-Orr model of cash management?

THANKS!arrow_forwardA firm that plans to expand its product line must decide whether to build a small or a large facilityto produce the new products. If it builds a small facility and demand is low, the net present valueafter deducting for building costs will be $400,000. If demand is high, the firm can either maintainthe small facility or expand it. Expansion would have a net present value of $450,000, and maintaining the small facility would have a net present value of $50,000.If a large facility is built and demand is high, the estimated net present value is $800,000. If demandturns out to be low, the net present value will be – $10,000.The probability that demand will be high is estimated to be .60, and the probability of low demandis estimated to be .40. 1- Compute the EVPI 2- Determine the range over which each alternative would be best in terms of the value of P ( low demand )arrow_forward

Then, during several recent years, the short-run pattern changed such that its inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points for every 1 percentage point drop in its unemployment rate.
