CONCEPT / EXAMPLE / CONTEXT

Liquidity

Describes how easily an asset can be turned into available money without materially affecting its value. Owning assets and having cash available are different things.

An example to understand it

Two assets with similar estimated values may have different sale times and costs. A real comparison requires checking actual conditions rather than assuming every asset can be converted to cash immediately.
