No dividends were paid in the first two years and as a result, the growth in dividends per share has been 100%. Equity per share has shown a growth over the years. Issuing more shares has resulted in lower sales and net income per share. The negative effect is especially felt on net income per share.

    The strength of Mark X as a company is its fixed assets turnover ratio, which rose from 1990 to 1992. This tells us Mark X 's ability to generate net sales from each addition of a fixed asset. Sales generated from the fixed assets are greater than the costs of the fixed assets, which imply that the fixed assets that were purchased are good investments for the company. This is really the only positive ratio they have at the moment. Weaknesses we found in Mark X were its debt ratio, which increased from 40.47% in 1990 to 46.33% in 1991 and from 46.33% to 59.80% in 1992. This shows us Mark X 's amount of debt relative to its assets is increasing and that its debt is equal to more than half of its assets by 1992. The current ratio and quick ratio has also indicated negative change, both decreasing between 1990 and 1992. The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company 's ability to pay short term obligations, while the quick ratio shows a company 's ability to pay its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. Both ratios are steadily decreasing, indicating to us the position of the company has become less and less favorable.…

    In order to examine operational performance of Clarkson Lumber Company, we calculated financial ratios for years 1993 to 1996 first quarter. In addition, to make a meaningful comparison, we calculated financial ratio for industry. Industry averages were calculated by taking arithmetic average of high-profit and low-profit outlets, then we calculated ratios. Financial ratios of Clarkson Lumber and industry averages can be seen in Exhibit 1. First of all, regarding current ratio, it has sharply declining trend, especially after year 1993, current ratios are below industry average. Even in 1995, current ratio is far below than the low-profit outlet’s current ratio. The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. When we focus on quick ratios of Clarkson, we also see declining trend in quick ratio, which shows that Clarkson is having harder and harder times to meet its current liabilities by using current assets. Overall, liquidity position of company seems to be weak. As for asset management ratios, first ratio to be discussed is inventory turnover ratio.
