a. Paradise Retailers, Inc. (PRI) determined that $1,500,000 is needed for cash transactions made during the next year. Each time PRI deposits money in its checking account, a charge of $12.95 is assessed to cover clerical costs. PRI can hold marketable securities that yield 4.5%, and then convert these securities to cash at a cost of only the $12.95 deposit charge.
Optimal Cash Amount = 29382.53
PRI’s financial managers have not been following the Baumol Model. Instead, they have been transferring cash from marketable securities less frequently, namely, transferring cash every three weeks.
