Answer:

If by Dark Ages, we mean the Middle Ages, then, one can safely say that business did more to bring the dark ages to an end and restore the world to civilization and progress.

The Middle Ages represented a decline in several areas, especially trade, when compared with classical antiquity (Ancient Greece and Rome).

By the late Middle Ages, several cities, especially in Italy, had began to develop trade networks again, and a merchant class was emerging.

With time, more cities became trade hubs, and this prompted economic development. Businesses grew, science and technological progress increased, and in general terms, civilization advanced more quickly in a few centuries than in the past millenia.

The Dog House has net income of $3,450 and total equity of $8,600. The debt-equity ratio is .60 and the payout ratio is 30 perce

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

21.29%

Explanation:

The computation of the internal growth rate is shown below:

But before that we need to determine the following calculations

Debt equity ratio js

= debt ÷ equity

The debt is 0.6 of equity

So,

= 0.6 × $8,600

= $5,160

Now

Total assets = Total liabilities + Total equity

= $8,600 + $5,160

= $13,760

Return on assets = Net income ÷ Total assets

= $3450 ÷ $13760

= 0.2507

Now as we know that

Retention ratio = 1 - payout ratio

= 1 - 0.3

= 0.7

And, finally

The Internal growth rate is

= (Return on assets × Retention ratio) ÷ [1 - (Return on assets × Retention ratio)]

= (0.2507 × 0.7) ÷ [1 - (0.2507 × 0.7)]

= 21.29%
