If you work after high school, you will be giving up your college education as well as an extra $400,000 over your lifetime. If you go to college, you will miss the work experience after high school, as well as extra money in your pocket early on.
Answer:
5.68%
Explanation:
The green giant has a 4% profit ratio
= 4/100
= 0.04
The dividend payout ratio is 30%
= 30/100
= 0.3
The total assets turnover is 1.2 times
The equity multiplier is 1.6
The first step is to calculate the return on equity
ROE= Profit margin×Total assets turnover×Equity multiplier
= 0.04×1.2×1.6
= 0.0768 or 7.68%
The next step is to calculate the Plowback ratio
b = 1-dividend payout ratio
b = 1-0.3
b = 0.7
Therefore, the sustainable growth rate can be calculated as follows
= ROE×b/(1-(ROE×b)
= 0.0768×0.7/(1-(0.0768×0.7)
= 0.05376/(1-0.05376)
= 0.05376/0.94624
= 0.05681
= 5.68%
Hence the sustainable rate of growth is 5.68%
