what is the simple definition of liquidity and equity.

Answer Posted / ameet narayankhedkar

In accounting, we have 3 categories: Assets, Liabilities,
and Equity.

Equity is the difference between your Assets and your
liabilities.
Liquidity refers to how easy you can convert an asset into
cash.

EX:Houses would be illiquid and things like stocks are
probably more liquid

Does anybody know anything about BirlaSoft? I got a job offer, they sent me a contract to sign and return, but thank God they didn't ask for any money! But, they said they would send me a check in the mail. And as my first "task" I would have to use that check to order a bunch of accounting software, and I would need to purchase this software ONLY from the vendors that THEY provide. Is this a scam to just get money? I'm wondering if they "own" the vendor they "work" with and launder money that way. I asked the person who was getting my information, as far as my name and address to send the check to, Why would I have to buy software to install in my home computer anyway? Couldn't they just send me a link for the software to download? I'm afraid of the check being fake. Because, if I deposit the check into my checking account and it turns out to be fake, then I'll owe the bank all that money! Hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks.
