Problem - Flip Co. had the following balances at December 31, 2015:
Cash in checking account $35,000
Cash in money market account 75,000
US Treasury bill, purchased 12/1/2015, maturing 3/31/2016 350,000
US Treasury bill, purchased 11/1/2015, maturing 1/31/2016 400,000
Flip's policy is to treat as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. What amount should Flip report as cash and cash equivalents in its December 31, 2015 balance sheet?
