Here the payments average Rs. 100 per day, while the receipts are only slightly in excess of
the payment and, in case of need, a special remittance could be obtained in one day. The minimum
balance should, therefore, be Rs.(100x1)+(10 percent on 100)= Rs.110.
The maximum balance according to the formula prescribed in rule 139 would then be Rs.
110+[(120-100)x2]=Rs. 150; but as it has been laid down that the difference between the maximum and
minimum cash balances must not be less than half the minimum cash balance, the maximum balance should
be fixed at Rs. 100+110/2=Rs. 165.
