The blue giant has a profit margin of 6.2 percent and a dividend payout ratio of 40 percent. The capital intensity is 1.08 and t

Lana71 [14]

First we calculate the return on equity(ROE) based on the Du-pont equation

ROE = Net profit margin * Total asset turnover * equity multiplier

Total asset turnover = 1/capital intensity =1/1.08

Equity multiplier = 1+ debt to equity = 1+ 0.54 = 1.54

net profit margin = 6.2% = 0.062

ROE = 0.062*1/1.08*1.54 = 0.0884 = 8.84%

Sustainable growth rate = ROE*(1- dividend payout)

Sustainable growth rate = 0.0884*(1-0.4)

Sustainable growth rate= 0.053 = 5.3%

Sustainable growth rate = 5.30%
