Assume the following ratios are constant: |
Total asset turnover | 3.0 | ||
Profit margin | 5.9 | % | |
Equity multiplier | 1.5 | ||
Payout ratio | 35 | % | |
What is the sustainable growth rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
Total asset turnover= 3.0
Profit margin= 5.9 %
Equity multiplier =1.5
Payout ratio =35 %
Return on Equity= Total asset Turnover*Profit Margin* Equity Multipler
= 3.0*5.9%*1.5
= 0.2655
Sustainable growth rate = return on equity× (1- dividend payout ratio).
= 0.2655(1-35%)
=17.26% (Answer).
