Development Partners Housing has been practicing cash management
for some time by using the Baumol model for determining cash
balances. Some time ago, the model called for an average balance
(C*/2) of $500; at that time, the rate on marketable securities was
4.0 percent. A rapid increase in interest rates has driven the
interest rate up to 8.0 percent. What is the appropriate average
cash balance now? Note that the fixed cost per transaction and the
total cash needed for...

1.How has technology, changed the way target cash
balances are set?
2. Explain how 'Monte Carlo Simulation', can be used
to help set a firms target cash balance?
3. What is the 'Baumol model', and how is it used?
4. Why is quality especially important if a Just in
Time (JIT), system is used?
5. Describe the relationship between production
scheduling and inventory levels?
Thank you.

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. If 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, what is the
optimal cash amount C* to transfer from marketable securities to
