Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are assets, typically investments that are so
liquid and easily converted into cash that they might as well be currency. These are
extremely low risk, short-term investments that typically mature in no more than
90 days. Some examples of cash equivalents include:
1. Treasury Bills
2. Short-term Government Bonds
3. Marketable Securities
4. Commercial Paper
5. Money Market Funds
It’s important to note that these investments are only considered equivalents if
they are readily available and are not restricted by some agreement. For instance,
if a company has a loan that requires it to maintain a minimum level of their
treasure bills, these T-bills cannot be considered equivalents because they are
restricted by the debt covenants.
