Answer to Question 1

The Transactions Motive: balances held for transaction purposes allow the firm to meet its cash needs that arise in the
ordinary course of doing business. The Precautionary Motive: precautionary balances serve as a buffer. This motive for
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
significant drop in lumber costs.
