What is meant by "cash equivalents"?


"Cash equivalents" refers to very short-term, highly liquid marketable securities with an original maturity of 3 months or less at the date of purchase. Because these securities can be converted into cash when needed very quickly and without material loss, they are considered to be the equivalent of cash and are normally included with cash on the balance sheet and on the cash flow statement
