Answer 1

We take 2 assumptions(Assuming Total Assets of 2011)
ROA assuming Total Assets of 2011 = Net Income/Total assets of 2011 = 30/300 = 10%
b = 58.9%
Internal Growth Rate = ROA*b/(1-ROA*b) = 10%*58.9%/(1-58.9%*10%) = 6.26%

We take assumptions(Assuming Average Total Assets )
Average Total assets = (265+300)/2 = 282.50
ROA = 30/282.50 = 10.6195%
b = 58.9%
Internal Growth Rate = ROA*b/(1-ROA*b) = 10.6195%*58.9%/(1-10.6195%*58.29%) = 6.67%
