Answer:

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

Explanation:

<em>Geometric average return</em>

This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .

Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility

The formula below

Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n

Geometric Average return =  

(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168

Geometric return =0.0923 × 100= 9.23%

Geometric return = 9.23%

Average rate of return

<em>The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns</em>

Average return = sum of return / No of returns

(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17 %

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

A firm has adopted a policy whereby it will not seek any additional external financing. Given this, what is the maximum growth r
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The maximum growth rate to my calculations is 8.32%, since it is closer to option E), I´d choose E) 8.37%

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the growth rate given all the info of the problem, we need to use the following formula.

g=b*R

Where:

g = growth rate

b=retention ratio

R = return on equity

Since R = Earnings / Equity, and our dividend payout ratio (equals to 1 - b)our fromula changes to:

g=(1-Payout)*\frac{NetIncome}{Equity}

So, everything should look like this:

g=(1-0.25)*\frac{32,600}{294,000} =0.0832

So, the growth rate is equal to 8.32% but this option is not available, therefore we´ll go for the closest one, that is E) 8.37%.

Best of luck.
