A stochastic cash management system is studied in which the cash flow is mo
deled by the superposition of a Brownian motion with drift and a compound P
oisson process with positive and negative jumps for "big" deposits and with
drawals, respectively. We derive explicit formulas for the distributions of
the bankruptcy time, the time until bankruptcy or the reaching of a prespe
cified level, the maximum cash amount in the system, and for the expected d
iscounted revenue generated by the system. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. A
