  2. Learning Objectives • Understand the need for a cash concentration system. • Formulate a cash transfer decision model. • Understand the advantages and disadvantages of the different cash transfer tools.

  3. Basic Structure • Exhibit 10.1 • Cash transfer tools • Initiation of the transfer • System costs • Benefits of the system

  5. Cash Transfer Tools • Depository transfer checks • ACH or EDT • Wire transfer

  6. Initiation of the Transfer • Decentralized • Centralized

  7. System Costs • Opportunity cost of idle balances • Transfer costs • Administrative costs

  8. Benefits of the System • Economies of scale • Enhanced visibility and control of balances • Dual balance possibilities

  9. The Cash Flow Timeline T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 Debit field bank account Balance available at the concentration bank Transfer initiated Collected funds at the field bank Deposit reported Original deposit at field bank

  10. Cash Transfer Scheduling • Complicating factors • Objective: minimize transfer costs • Transfer rules

  11. Complicating Factors • Minimum transfer balance • Set incremental cost = Days Saved x ((k - ecr(1-rr)) x TBAL • Solve for TBAL • TBAL = Incremental cost/DS x [k - ecr(1-rr)/365] • Fluctuating daily deposits • Deposits with different availabilities • Availability of deposits vs. clearing of transfer instrument • Weekends

  12. Objective: Minimize Transfer Costs • Subject To: adequate bank compensation • TC = Fee + (k x (ACB - RCB))Where:RCB = (SC - Fee)/ecr(1-rr)

  13. Transfer Rules • Daily transfer: transfer the daily deposit • Managing about a target: • one-time transfer out to earn interest • reduces the number of transfers • Anticipation: initiate transfer prior to deposit

  14. Summary • A collection system such as a lockbox necessitates the development of a concentration system. • This chapter discussed the structure of a cash concentration system and identified the advantages and disadvantages. • The chapter developed an objective function for the cash transfer scheduling problem. • Three transfer scheduling rules were identified and discussed. • The chapter concluded by comparing cash concentration characteristics.
