A JB company, which can earn 7% on money market instruments, currently has a lock-box arrangement with Faisal Bank for its southern customers. The bank handles $3,000,000 a day in return for a compensating balance of $2,000,000. · · ·
a. The company has discovered that it could divide the south region into a southwestern · region (with $1,000,000 a day in collections, which could be handled by a City bank
for a $1,000,000 compensating balance) and a southeastern region (with $2 million
compensating balance). In each case, collections would be one-half day quicker then with the Faisal bank arrangement. What would be the annual saving (or cost) of dividing the southern region? ·In an effort to retain the business the Faisal bank has offered to handle the collections strictly on a fee basis (no compensating balance). What would be the maximum fee the Faisal bank could charge and still retain JB company?
