Expert Solution

ROE = (PM)(TAT)(EM)

ROE = (0.07)(1.3)(1.4)

ROE = 0.1274 or 12.74%

The plowback ratio is one minus the dividend payout ratio, so:

b = 1 – 0.38

b = 0.62

Sustainable growth rate = (ROE × b) / [1 – (ROE × b)]

Sustainable growth rate = [0.1274(0.62)] / [1 – 0.1274(0.62)]

Sustainable growth rate = 0.0858 or 8.58%
