Answer:

The answer is: TRUE

Explanation:

The inflation rate can be calculated using both the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator rate. But the CPI is used more frequently since it shows how the prices for consumer goods and services change.

The GDP deflator = (nominal GDP / real GDP) x 100

you can calculate inflation rate between years 1 and 2 using the following formula:

= [(GDP deflator year 2 - GDP deflator year 1) / GDP deflator year 1] x 100

The firm's sustainable growth rate is 13%.

Explanation:

The firm's sustainable growth rate can be calculated using the following formula:

Sustainable growth rate = Retention Rate * Return on Equity ............. (1)

Where;

Dividend payout ratio = 30%, or 0.30

Retention rate = 1 - dividend payout ratio = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70

Shareholder's equity = Total assets - Total debt = $913,600 - $424,500 = $489,100

Return on equity = Net income / Shareholder's equity = $94,000 / $489,100 = 0.19

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Sustainable growth rate = 0.70 * 0.19 = 0.13, or 13%

Therefore, the firm's sustainable growth rate is 13%.
