Table 1. Formulas for calculating the optimal amount of cash reserve and various models of the optimal order size.

n/a no. The formula for calculating the optimal amount of cash balance Optimal order size models in supply chains management
1. Baumol
Ropt=2bPED ,
where b is the costs associated with the transaction for the sale of securities, Rub per transaction; P is the total volume of transactions, Rub for the period T; ED is the return on financial investments in securities, %.
Wilson's formula (calculation of the economical batch of the order)
Q=2AC0CHR ,
where A is the need for the ordered product within one year; C0 is the cost of completing one order, Rub; CHR is the cost of storing the order, Rub.
2. Credit line
Ropt=EKRMED+EKR
where
2PbED12ED+EKREKR12 ,
where M is the amount of replenishment of the cash reserve, Rub; EKR is the interest rate per annum for the loan, %.
The optimal order size when the shortage is acceptable
S0=2RCSTC112C2C1+C212
and
q0=2RCSTC112C1+C2C212
Where S0 is the optimal stock level at the beginning of a specific interval; q0 is the optimal order size; R is the demand for the ordered product for the period T; CS is the order price, Rub; C1 is the cost of storing a unit of production per unit of time, Rub; C2 is the penalty for lack of a unit of production, Rub.
