Loreto Inc. has the following financial ratios: asset turnover = 2.60; net profit margin (i.e., net income/sales) = 4%; payout ratio = 25%; equity/assets = 0.30.
a. What is Loreto's sustainable growth rate?
b. What is its internal growth rate?
Ans:- (a) Sustainable growth rate = ROE*Retention ratio.
ROE = Net Profit Margin * Asset turnover ratio * Equity Multiplier.
Note:- Equity Multiplier = Total assets / Total equity, we know that equity / assets is 0.30, so assets / equity will be 1/0.30
Retention ratio = 1 - Payout ratio
(b) Internal growth rate = ROA * Retention ratio
ROA = Asset turnover ratio * Net profit margin.
Note:- If this answer helps you pls give thumbs up.
