Answer: Not necessarily: The debt ratios are not directly comparable, since each company is in a different industry.
Explanation:
We cannot authoritatively state that even though Boeing has such a high debt rate, that it is a riskier company than either Microsoft or PG&E. This is due to the drawback in ratio analysis of bias if compared across different industries.
Ratio analysis best works when comparing companies in the same industry because their situations will be similar. Comparing across industries can be misleading because different industries operate in different ways. In the Airplane manufacturing business for instance, having a high amount of debt due to having the tangible assets to back it up might be a normal thing.
The debt ratios are therefore not directly comparable because each company is in a different industry.

Answer:
The answer is: C) If Jack does not accept the $100,000, there is a valid contract for the sale of the business, without a non-competition clause.
Explanation:
Non competition clause (NCC) is a legal contract that binds one party to not work for or start a rival company (in the same trade) that will compete against the other party.
In this case, Jack said he would probably agree to sign a NCC if they paid him $100,000 more, but he never said he would sign for sure the NCC. So Jack can refuse to sign the NCC and reject the extra $100,000. The selling contract would still be valid, it was never stated that if no NCC was signed, then the contract would be dismissed.
