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. What total cash cost including holding costs and transactions costs could PRI save by transferring the optimal cash amount C* rather than this larger transfer amount?
