Cash Equivalents
are short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and
so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of
changes in interest rates.
Examples:
1. Time deposit
- acquired within three months from maturity date
2. Money market instrument and commercial paper
3. Treasury bills
4. Redeemable preference shares with mandatory redemption period and
acquired three months before maturity.
If an item cannot be included as cash equivalent because it did not qualify the
cut-off time period ( ie three months), it will always be classified as
investments (short term or long term) depending on the period up to
maturity.
If the problem is silent with regard to:
1. Treasury note – assumed investment
2. Cash in money market account – cash and cash equivalent
3. Time deposit – cash and cash equivalent
