Question
Problem 3 (Cost-benefit Analysis of Cash Management)
Beth's Society Inc., has collection centers across the country to speed up collections. The company also
makes payments from remote disbursement centers so the firm's checks will take longer to clear the bank.
Collection time has been reduced by two and one- half days and disbursement time increased by one and
one-half days because of these policies. Excess funds are being invested in short-term instruments yielding
6 percent per annum.
Required:
a. If the firm has P4 million per day in collections and P3 million per day in disbursements, how much money
has the cash management system freed up?
b. How much can the firm earn per year on short-term investments made possible by the freed-up cash?
