Answer:
9.69%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Net income = $4819
Total asset = $38,200
Taxable income = $6,100
Dividend payout ratio = 30% = 0.3
The internal growth rate is calculated thus ;
(Return on asset × Retention ratio)/[1-(Return on asset × Retention ratio)]
Return on asset = (Net income / total asset)
Return on asset = ($4,819 / $38,200)
Return on asset = 0.12615
Retention ratio = 1 - Dividend payout ratio
Retention ratio = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7
Hence internal growth rate :
(0.12615 × 0.7) / 1 - (0.12615 × 0.7)
0.088305 / 1 - 0.088305
0.088305 / 0.911695
= 0.0968580
= 0.0968580 × 100%
= 9.685%
= 9.69% ( 2 decimal places)
Answer:
There is something wrong with this question because October to February is not four months, it's five months.
We can calculate this assuming 3 months of 2016 (October, November, December) and 2 months of 2016 (November and December).
- 3 months of 2016 = ($22,400 / 4 months) x 3 months = $16,800
- 2 months of 2016 = ($22,400 / 4 months) x 2 months = $11,200
No option is correct.
