quick ratio = 5217/7147 = 0.7

debt ratio = 9014*100/15074 =59.8%

times interest earned = 697/469 = 1.5

inventory turnover (cost) =26140/7319 = 3.6

inventory turnover (sales) =30703/7319= 4.2

fixed assets turnover = 30703/2538 = 12.1

total assets turnover =30703/15074 = 2.0

average collection period = 4605*365/30703 = 55 days

profit margin = 118*100/30703 = 0.4%

gross margin = 4563*100/30703 = 14.9%

return on total assets = 118*100/15074 = 0.8%

return on equity = 118*100/6060 = 1.9%

dividend payout ratio =30*100/118 = 25.4%

Altman Z factor = 1.2*0.36+1.4*0.16+3.3*.05+0.6*0.06+1*2 = 2.9

(Z-Factor = 1.2A + 1.4B + 3.3C + 0.6D + 1.0E, where: A = Working Capital/Total Assets; B = Retained Earnings/Total Assets; C = Earnings Before Interest & Tax/Total Assets; D = Market Value of Equity/Total Liabilities; E = Sales/Total Assets)

Case 1: Financial Analysis Forest Resources Corporation Laurie Phillips, vice-president and senior loan officer of the First Florida National Bank of Jacksonville, was recently alerted to the deteriorating finan- cial position of one of the bank's long-standing clients, Forest Resources Corporation (FRC), via the bank's computer analysis program.

If any ratio is significantly worse than the industry average, ag reflects a marked adverse trend, or fails to meet contractual requirements, the computer highlights the deficiency An analysis of FRC's financial statements revealed a number of significant trends (see Tables 1-5 for the financial statements and partial analyses thereof).
