Explain the difference between cash and cash equivalents.

What will be an ideal response?


Cash includes currency, coins, deposits in bank accounts, checking accounts, and savings accounts. Cash equivalents are short-term investments that meet the two specific criteria of being readily convertible to a known cash amount and being sufficiently close to maturity so that the market value is not sensitive to changes in interest rates. Examples of short-term investments include certificates of deposits and government treasury bills.
