1. Based on the following numbers what was the maximum growth rate in sales without external financing
Net Income 150 Dividends 40. Total Assets 2055
2. You are saving 2000 per month to accumulate 10000. If the interest is 6% per year compounded monthly how long have to save to achieve your goal?
1) Internal growth rate shows growth rate without external financing.
IGR = [ Return on Asset * Retention ratio ] / [ 1 - ( Return on Asset * Retention ratio ) ]
ROA = Net Income / Total Assets
= 150 / 2055
= 7.30%
Retention Ratio = 1 - ( Dividend / Net income )
= 1 - ( 40 / 150 )
= 0.7333
IGR = [ Return on Asset * Retention ratio ] / [ 1 - ( Return on Asset * Retention ratio ) ]
= [ 0.0730 * 0.7333 ] / [ 1 - ( 0.0730 * 0.7333 ) ]
= 0.0535 / 0.9465
= 5.66 % Answer
2) Future Value = Annuity * PVAF ( Monthly rate, Number of Months )
10,000 = 2,000 * PVAF (6% / 12, Number of months )
10,000 = 2,000 * PVAF (0.50%, Number of months )
PVAF (0.50%, Number of months ) = 10000 / 2000
PVAF (0.50%, Number of months ) = 5
by trial and error
Number of months = 5.08 Months Answer
