Answer to Question 1

The Transactions Motive: balances held for transaction purposes allow the firm to meet its cash needs that arise in the

holding cash relates to the maintenance of balances used to satisfy possible, but as yet unknown, needs. The
Speculative Motive: cash is held for speculative purposes in order to take advantage of potential profit-making
situations. Construction firms that build private dwellings will, at times, accumulate cash in anticipation of a
