What are the costs and benefits of holding cash?



Answer: Cash provides liquidity, but it doesn't pay interest. Securities pay interest, but you can't use them to buy things. As financial manager, you want to hold up cash to the point at which the incremental or marginal benefit of liquidity is equal to the cost of holding cash, that is, the interest you could earn on securities.
