    Cash equivalents = Money market fund balance + NSF checks from customers returned by bank + Treasury bill maturing in 60 days + A nine-month certificate of deposit maturing on June 30 of next year

    Cash equivalents = $10,400 + $805 + $10,000 + $6,000 = $27,205

    Therefore, the amounts considered Cash and Cash Equivalents, respectively on December 31 are $10,430 and $27,205.
