Indication of whether each of the following statements is true or false:

a. A company has the following assets at the end of the year: cash on hand $40,000, cash refund due from customer $30,000, and checking account balance $22,000. Cash and cash equivalents is therefore $62,000.

True

b. A company that has received NSF checks should report these checks as a current liability on the balance sheet.

False

c. Restricted cash that is a current asset is reported as part of cash and cash equivalents.

False

d. A company has cash in the bank of $50,000, petty cash of $400, and stock investments of $100,000. Total cash and cash equivalents is therefore $50,400.

True

Explanation:

a. Cash and cash equivalents do not include refund due from customers.

b. NSF checks mean that the checks were returned by the bank to the company marked "Not Sufficient Funds."  These checks are to be returned to the customers.  The customers' accounts will be debited to reverse the earlier recorded payment offsetting their accounts.  They are, therefore, not to be recorded as liabilities.

c. Since restricted cash is not available for general and immediate use by the company, it is not part of the cash and cash equivalents.  The cash and cash equivalents deal with cash and near cash items that can easily be converted into cash and used in settlement of financial obligations.

d. This is while only marketable securities (bonds, shares, etc) are included in cash and cash equivalents, because most of them have a duration of less than 3 months.  Stock investments, without any qualification, do not qualify to be classified as cash and cash equivalents, unless they are held as marketable securities.

correct, but each time you dont pay the price of the penalty can increase.
