Financial-statement terms for cash equivalents, restricted cash, unrestricted cash, float, cash ratio, quick ratio, and quick-liquidity ratio.
Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Liquidity Ratios is the financial-statement landing page for cash equivalents, restricted cash, unrestricted cash, float, quick ratios, cash ratios, and near-cash liquidity measures. It keeps related terms in one branch so readers can move from a broad statement question to the article that owns the evidence.
Use this page when a cash balance or liquidity ratio changes short-term solvency analysis. Use the parent Cash Flow, Working Capital, and Liquidity page when you need the broader reporting map. For an individual decision, confirm the statement line, disclosure note, reporting period, measurement basis, and calculation before relying on the term.
