Solutions

Expert Solution

Dividend payout ratio=Dividend payout/Net income

=1.65/4.3

=0.38372093

Retention ratio=1-Dividend payout ratio

=1-0.38372093

=0.61627907

Sustainable growth rate=(ROE*Retention ratio)/[1-(ROE*Retention ratio)]

=(0.61627907*0.16)/[1-(0.61627907*0.16)]

=10.94%(Approx)
