What is known as cash and cash equivalents in finance?

The term "cash and cash equivalents" means the line item on the balance sheet that reports the value of a company's assets that are cash or can be converted into cash immediately. These cash equivalents include bank accounts and marketable securities which are debt securities with maturities of less than 90 days.

But often times, the cash equivalents do not include equity or stock holdings because they can fluctuate in value. The computation of the Cash & Cash Equivalents is shown as below:

Cash & Cash Equivalents = Money market fund balance + Cash in bank account + Cash in petty cash fund + U.S. Treasury bill

Cash & Cash Equivalents = $2,790 + $21,430 + $200 + $5,000

Cash & Cash Equivalents = $29,420
