Optimal Cash Transfer
Barenbaum Industries projects that cash outlays of $4.5 million will occur uniformly throughout the year. Barenbaum plans to meet its cash requirements by periodically selling marketable securities from its portfolio. The firm’s marketable securities are invested to earn 12%, and the cost per transaction of converting securities to cash is $27.
- a. Use the Baumol model to determine the optimal transaction size for transfers from marketable securities to cash.
- b. What will be Barenbaum’s average cash balance?
- c. How many transfers per year will be required?
- d. What will be Barenbaum’s total annual cost of maintaining cash balances? What would the total cost be if the company maintained an average cash balance of $50,000 or of $0 (it deposits funds daily to meet cash requirements)?

Baumol Model and Miller-Orr Model
1. 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. Calculate the lower limit, the return point, and the upper limit based on the Miller-Orr model of cash management.
A firm requires Rs. 20 million in cash for meeting its transaction needs over the next four months, its planning horizon for liquidity decisions. It currently has the amount in the form of marketable securities that earn 12 percent annual yield. The cash payments will be made evenly over the planning period. The conversion of marketable securities into cash entails a fixed cost of Rs. 900 per transaction. What is the optimal conversion size as per Baumol model?
