Solution

The cash set aside as collateral for a letter of credit by DEF Company will be classified as a "current asset as it is restricted cash". This is because the cash is expected to be used within the next 12 months, which fits the definition of a current asset. Additionally, since it is set aside as collateral, it is considered restricted.
