Answer #1
Ans. Sustainable growth rate   =   (ROE * Retention ratio) / [1 - (ROE * Retention ratio)]
(0.1932 * 0.8869) / [1 - (0.1932 * 0.8869)]
0.1713 / [1 - 0.1713]
0.1713 / 0.8287
0.206709304
or   20.6709
ROE   =   Net income / Ending Equity
29545 / 152904
0.1932
*Ending equity = Beginning equity + Net income - Dividends
126702 + 29545 - 3343
152904
*Retention ratio   =   1 - Dividend Payout ratio
1 - 0.1131
0.8869
*Dividend payout ratio =   Dividend / Net income
3343 / 29545
0.1131
