Topic 6 DQ 1 response Why is “being liquid” so important? Hi Edwina, Your reflection on why is "being liquid" so important identified ways a business/corporation can avoid financial crisis by having cash on hand and balancing a budget. Liquidity is what helps the business function. From my understanding, being liquid helps a business meet short- term or unexpected needs without interfering with the budget/business plan. Ultimately, the business or corporation must have financial flexibility. For example, businesses investing in stocks and bonds to borrow from each other can potentially fund upcoming projects and address financial crises. Over time investments' dollar amount value increases financial security. However, risk factors like default and market risk interfere with a business's dependency on liquid investments. “The objectives of short-term investments need to be prioritized in the investment policy to provide clear guidance for investment decisions.” (Chen et al., 2015). As a result, risk factors will diminish while short-term liquidity will produce a safe net where the business will yield returns. Reference Chen, G. G., Weikart, L. A., & Williams, D. W. (2015).  Budget tools: Financial methods in the public sector  (2nd ed.). SAGE Publications.
