A. Calculate the variance of net daily cash flows.
B. Assuming a lower limit of $300, a transaction cost of $15, and an annual interest rate of 8 percent, what is the upper limit and what is the return point using the Miller-Orr model?
A)
Average net daily cash flows = Sum of net daily cash flows 10 = 40 10 = 4
The variance of the cash flow is calculated as follows
Variance of net daily cash flows = 544
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
B)
Using the Miller -Orr model, the return point and upper limit are calculated as follows:-
Return point (RP) = 1129.76
Upper limit = 3RP - 2LL
Upper limit = 3 1129.76 - 2 300
Upper limit = 2789.28
