Question

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 percent. What is the internal growth rate

Answer 1

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%
