The particular company should be able to change the securities that they own into cash, keeping the cost of transaction the same. Under normal circumstances, all such deals have variable costs and fixed costs.
The company is capable of predicting its cash necessities. They should be able to do this with a level of certainty. The company should also get a fixed amount of money. They should be getting this money at regular intervals.
The company is aware of the opportunity cost required for holding cash. It should stay the same for a considerable length of time.
 
Equational Representations in Baumol Model of Cash Management:


Holding Cost = k(C/2)
Transaction Cost = c(T/C)
Total Cost = k(C/2) + c(T/C)

Where T is the total fund requirement, C is the cash balance, k is the opportunity cost & c is the cost per transaction.
