highest growth rate without increasing financial leverage.
2. The sustainable growth rate of a firm with net income of $2.90 million, cash dividends of $1.90 million, and return on equity of 16% is:
= c. 5.52%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sustainable growth rate = Return on equity * Retention rate
Net income = $2.90 million
Cash dividends 1.90 million
Retained earnings = $1.0 million
Retention rate = $1.0/$2.90 * 100 = 34.48%
Return on equity = 16%
Therefore, the sustainable growth rate = 16% * 34.48%
= 5.5168%
= 5.52%
b) Sustainable growth rate is the rate of revenue growth, which an entity can attain without increasing its financial leverage (debts).

Answer:
11,000 people
Explanation:
fixed costs per store $80,000
variable cost ratio 0.80
average sale per customer $15
average customer sales per week 1.75
customers as portion of population 4%
each customer shops 1.75 x 52 = 91 times per year
contribution margin per visit = $15 - ($15 x 0.8) = $3
contribution margin per client per year = $3 x 91 = $273
in order to make $40,000 in profits, you need at least:
($80,000 + $40,000) / $273 = 439.56 ≈ 440 customers
to determine the city's total population = 440 / 0.04 = 11,000
