Question 5:

State the meaning of the terms: Cash Equivalents, Cash flows.

Answer:

Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are easily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. In other words, cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or any other purpose. An investment held for short-term maturity, say three months can be regarded as cash equivalent. Some examples of cash equivalents are treasury bills, commercial papers, etc. On the other hand, cash flows are inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents. A cash inflow results in increase in the total cash balance and a cash outflow results in decrease in the total cash balance.

“The nature/type of enterprise can change altogether the category into which a particular activity may be classified.” Do you agree? Illustrate your answer.

Answer:

Yes, the nature or type of an enterprise can change the category into which a particular activity may be classified. This can be better understood with the help of an example of two firms. One engaged in financial services and the other engaged in manufacturing services. For the firm that is engaged in financial services, interests received or paid are classified under operating activities whereas for the firm that is engaged in manufacturing business, interests paid are classified under financing activities and interest received as investing activities. Therefore, the classification of activities depends on the nature and type of enterprise.
