No. Certificates of deposit should be classified as cash equivalents or short-term investments. This is because there are usually restrictions or penalties on these securities when they are converted to cash.
A cash equivalent is a short-term investment in marketable securities that can be sold very quickly (three days or less in an active exchange); its purpose is to provide some level of return on excess cash that would otherwise be sitting in a bank account. To that extent that the cash equivalent can be thought of as operating cash on hand, and not as an investment. If, on the other hand, a company bought marketable securities to hold for investment purposes over the long-term that would be investing. Given that the purchase of cash equivalents is related to operating activities it is accounted for in cash flows from operating activities. The investment in marketable securities "held for investment" would be treated as an investing activity.
No, inventory is not included in marketable securities. Marketable securities refer to financial instruments that are liquid and can be easily converted into cash, such as stocks and bonds. Inventory, on the other hand, consists of goods and materials a company holds for sale or production, making it a part of current assets but separate from marketable securities.
Interest received on marketable securities is shown as an increase of cash from investing activities in cash flow statement.

A company may invest in securities that do not provide current cash flows for various reasons. These securities could offer potential future cash flows or capital appreciation. Additionally, investing in such securities can diversify the company's investment portfolio and provide avenues for long-term growth. Furthermore, it allows the company to strategically allocate excess cash or idle funds to create further value.
Marketable securities are assets of company which can be converted immediately to acquire cash as and when needed.
The method of accounting for securities where transactions are recorded on the settlement date, which is when the securities are delivered or received and payment is made, is known as the "settlement date accounting." This approach contrasts with trade date accounting, where transactions are recorded on the date the trade is executed, regardless of when the actual transfer of securities and cash occurs. Settlement date accounting provides a clearer picture of actual cash flow and asset ownership at the time of reporting.
Operating Activities ;)
