ratio, the company is more liquid in the year 2008. However, it is a slightly less liquid in 2007. The reason could be is that the income picks up
in 2008.

company during the year 2007 has a greater reliance on non-owner financing or financial leverage since it has a higher ratio compared to the
year 2008.

Lincoln Equipment Inc., in the year 2007, 24.20% of the company’s structure is debt. In the year 2008, it decreased to 20.45%.

Analysis: Cash flow-to-debt ratio is used in analyzing how long it would take for the company to repay its debt if it devoted all of its cash flow
to debt repayment. Based on the Cash flow/Debt Ratio in 2008, the company's cash flow has more than half of the company's debt. And debt
can be paid in less than 2 years assuming all is well in the next year. While in 2007, it's cash flow can only pay 2% of its debt, meaning the
company incurred a loss but it overturned dramatically the following year.
Analysis: Dividend payout ratio measures the number of dividends paid to its shareholders compared to the net income of the company. In
the year 2007, the company’s dividend payout ratio is more than 100%. This meant that the company gave out more money than it earned in
that year. This is probably the reason why in the following year, the company lowered its dividend payout to 86.11%.
