a.Retention ratio=1-payout ratio
=(1-0.35)=0.65
ROA=net income/Total assets
=16400/179500
=9.13649025%(Approx)
Internal growth rate=(ROA*Retention ratio)/[1-(ROA*Retention ratio)]
=(0.0913649025*0.65)/[1-(0.0913649025*0.65)]
=6.30%(Approx)
b.Dividend payout ratio=Dividend payout/Net income
=10500/12800
=0.8203125
Retention ratio=1-payout ratio
=1-0.8203125
=0.1796875
Debt-equity ratio=Debt/equity
Debt=0.55*equity
Total assets=Total liabilities+Total equity
102,000=0.55*equity+equity
equity=102,000/(0.55+1)
=$65806.4516
ROE=net income/equity
=12800/65806.4516
=19.4509804%
Sustainable growth rate=(ROE*Retention ratio)/[1-(ROE*Retention ratio)]
=(0.194509804*0.1796875)/[1-(0.194509804*0.1796875)]
=3.62%(Approx)
