Answer:

D. 9.0%

Explanation:

Provided return on equity = 15% = K $_e$

Earnings per share = $6.00

Dividend = 40% = $6 $\times$ 0.4 = $2.40

Internal Growth Rate = Cost of equity $\times$ (1 - Dividend payout ratio)

Putting values in above we have

Internal growth rate = 15% $\times$ (1 - 40%)

= 15% $\times$ 60%

= 9%

Therefore, correct option is

D. 9.0%
