The Miller-Orr ModelThe firm allows its cash balance to wander randomly between upper and lower control limits.

When the cash balance reaches the upper control limit U, cash is invested elsewhere to get us to the target cash balance C.

When the cash balance reaches the lower control limit, L, investments are sold to raise cash to get us up to the target cash balance.

19A-17
Implications of the Miller-Orr Model
To use the Miller-Orr model, the manager must do four things:
1. Set the lower control limit for the cash balance.
2. Estimate the standard deviation of daily cash flows.
3. Determine the interest rate. 4. Estimate the trading costs of
buying and selling securities.
19A-18
Implications of the Miller-Orr Model
The model clarifies the issues of cash management:
The optimal cash position, C*, is positively related to trading costs, F, and negatively related to the interest rate R.
C* and the average cash balance are positively related to the variability of cash flows.

Other Factors Influencing the
Target Cash Balance
BorrowingBorrowing is likely to be
more expensive than selling marketable securities.
The need to borrow will depend on management’s desire to hold low cash balances.
