In the personal financial statements of a client, which of the following is correctly classified as a liquid asset?

A savings bank account balance is a liquid asset because it can be used immediately at its full value. A self-occupied house, a PPF balance under lock-in and jewellery for personal use cannot be turned into cash quickly without delay or loss.

  1. ABalance in a savings bank accountCorrect
  2. BSelf-occupied residential flat
  3. CPublic Provident Fund balance locked in for 15 years
  4. DJewellery kept for family use

Explanation

Liquid assets are those that can be converted to cash quickly with little or no loss of value. A savings account balance meets this test. A house, locked-in PPF balance and family jewellery are not readily convertible without cost or delay.
