Wisconsin Paper Company is considering establishing a zero-balance system for its payroll account. The firm pays its employees every 2 weeks on Friday (that is, 26 pay periods per year). Currently, the firm deposits the necessary funds in the payroll account on Friday to cover the total amount of the checks written each pay period, which averages $1 million. However, the firm has found that the majority of the checks did not clear the payroll account until the following week. A typical distribution of when the checks clear the payroll account is as follows:
Amount of Funds
Day
Clearing Payroll Account
Friday
$ 300,000
Monday
450,000
Tuesday
150,000
Wednesday
100,000
Total
$1,000,000
