Cash holding of the firm may deviate from the targeted, it is because of adjustment cost. Panel regression analysis has been conducted to determine the major factors affecting cash holdings. these variable are Growth, Firm Size, Leverage, Profitability, Dividend, and Asset tangibility. The Formula is CH*i,t = f(Growth, Size, Lev, Prof, Div, Tang)). The adjustment of the firms for target level cash cannot be immediately achieved due to the associated adjustment costs. The speed of adjustment equation are:
CHi,t - CHi,t-1 = αi (CH*i,t - CHi,t-1) or CHi,t =(1- αi )CHt-1 + δi,tCH*i,t
