Cash Overdrafts And Cash Equivalents

12.   Cash Overdrafts and Cash Equivalents



Included in accounts payable at March 31, 2016 is cash overdrafts payable of $16.4 million (December 31, 2015 - $9.3 million).



From time to time throughout the year, we invest excess cash in money market funds with major commercial banks. We closely monitor the creditworthiness of the institutions with which we invest our overnight funds.  We had        $595,000 in cash equivalents as of March 31, 2016.  There was $76,000 in cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015.  The weighted average rate of return for our cash equivalents was 0.40% at March 31, 2016 and 0.20% at December 31, 2015.
