Answer: I found the options:

A. The current ratio includes assets other than cash.

B. A high current ratio may indicate inadequate inventory on hand.

C. The two companies may define working capital in differentterms.

D. A high current ratio may indicate inefficient use of various assetsand liabilities.

Explanation: The correct answer is "D. A high current ratio may indicate inefficient use of various assets and liabilities."

Is invalid to assume that the company with the higher current ratio is te better company because a high current ratio may indicate inefficient use of various assets and liabilities, That is why it would be convenient to observe other ratios that can help us compare more fully the 2 companies.
