(Questions 6-7) The W Company, which can earn 4% on money market instruments, currently has a lockbox arrangement with a New Orleans bank for its Southern customers. The bank handles $5 million a day in return for a compensating balance of $3 million. The W Company has discovered that it could divide the Southern region into a southwestern region (with $2 million a day in collections, which could be handled by a Dallas bank for a $2 million compensating balance) and a southeastern region (with $3 million a day in collections, which could be handled by an Atlanta bank by a $2.5 million compensating balance). In each case, collections would be one-half day quicker than with the New Orleans arrangement. What would be the annual savings (or cost) of dividing the Southern region? None of them $20,000.00 $40,000.00 $60,000.00 $100,000.00 $80,000,00 (Questions 6-7) The W Company, which can earn 4% on money market instruments, currently has a lockbox arrangement with a New Orleans bank for its Southern customers.

In each case, collections would be one-half day quicker than with the New Orleans arrangement. In an effort to retain the business, the New Orleans bank has offered to handle the collections strictly on a fee basis (no compensating balance). What would be the maximum fee the New Orleans bank could charge and still retain W's business? $100,000.00 $40,000.00 $20,000.00 $60.000.00 None of them $80,000.00
