To determine
To mention: The amount to be reported as cash and cash equivalents
(2)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
Cash: Cash is the money readily available in the form of currency. Since cash can be easily converted into other types of assets, it is reported as first item in the assets section as the most liquid asset.
Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are the near-cash items, which are readily convertible into cash. Cash equivalents have a maturity period of three months, or less than 3 months. Cash equivalents are reported along with cash in the assets section of the balance sheet, as ‘Cash and cash equivalents’.
Cash and cash equivalents:
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
| Cash in the bank | $1,000 |
| Petty cash | 400 |
| Treasury bills | 500 |
| Total cash and cash equivalents | $1,900 |
Table (5)
Note: $750 of cash set aside for legal purposes is restricted cash. So, do not include in cash and cash equivalents.
Conclusion
Hence, the amount of cash and cash equivalents is $1,900.
