Abstract: We model a firm which faces continuing stochastic money needs and fluctuating interest rates. The borrower minimizes the expected present value of the sum of interest payments and prepayment penalty costs subject to a liquidity constraint. Since contingent opportunities are absent from the model, we find (i) the firm should not inventory cash, (ii) the firm should prepay the maximum amount possible if it prepays at all.
