Answer: a). Firm's growth rate = 10.5%
b). Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00
Explanation: Earnings growth rate is the percentage change in earnings given specific variables.
The firm's earnings growth rate g = Return on equity (ROE) × Retained earnings (b) = 0.15(0.70)
g =0.105 or 10.5%
In finding next year's earnings, we multiply the current earnings times one plus the growth rate.
Next year's earnings = Current earnings(1 + g)
Next year's earnings = 28,000,000(1 + 0.105)
Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00
