The Chaldean Riverfood Market has sales of $41,100, current assets of $12,000, net income of $3,500, fixed assets of $10,600, total debt of $8,200, and dividends of $888. What is the sustainable growth rate (in percents)?
Total assets=current assets+fixed assets
=(12000+10600)=$22600
Total equity=Total assets-Total debt
=(22600-8200)=$14400
ROE=net income/Total equity
=(3500/14400)=0.2430556(Approx)
Dividend payout ratio=Dividends/net income
=(888/3500)=0.253714285
Hence retention ratio=1-Dividend payout ratio
=1-0.253714285
=0.746285715
Hence sustainable growth rate=(ROE*retention ratio)/[1-(ROE*retention ratio)]
=(0.2430556*0.746285715)/[1-(0.2430556*0.746285715)]
which is equal to
=22.16%(Approx).
