Davis Construction Company has not been doing very well lately. The controller is looking over the invoices for bills that need to be paid this week, and realizes the company is approximately $$7,000$ short. The only account with excess cash is mandated to be used only for cases of workers' compensation. Can the controller pull the money from that account?

No$,$ that is restricted cash and the money cannot be taken out to cover other expenses.

No$,$ that is a short$-$term investment account, and the money cannot be converted into cash that quickly.

Yes, it is a cash equivalent account, which can be used to supply the money for the bitls as long as the money is replaced within the month.

Yes, it is restricted cash, but as long as the money is replaced within a month of being taken out, it vill balance out fine.
