XYZ Company is considering different methods of concentrating cash from its subsidiary accounts to its main operating account. It uses short-term borrowings with a rate of 7% to fund daily operations, and the reserve adjusted earnings credit rate on its subsidiary accounts is 1%. A review of its bank fees shows that wires (same day transfer) cost the XYZ Co. $7.00 each while ACH debits (next day transfer) cost $1.25 each. If the primary objective is to minimize costs, what must the transfer amount be (rounded to the nearest whole $) to justify the use of a wire transfer instead of an ACH to concentrate the funds?
