Answer:
D) Dividend payout ratio
Explanation:
Internal Growth Rate of a firm is the maximum growth rate at which the firm can grow without involving external financing i.e. without assuming additional debt or equity infusion in the firm. At this level of growth the cash available from the operations can be used to fund the company.
It is calculated using the formula
IGR= ROA* b / (1-ROA * b)
where
IGR is the Internal Growth Rate
ROA is return on assets
b is the retention ratio or (1-dividend payout ratio)
To answer the question we look at each option
If ROA (Return on Asset) is decreased the numerator decreases and denominator increases in equation (1) and thus the Internal growth rate decreases, so ROA is not the answer
If Net Income is reduced the Return on Assets also falls thus as in the above case Internal growth Rate decreases
If retention ratio is reduced the numerator decreases and denominator increase leading to a fall in IGR
If dividend payout ratio is decreased the retention ratio increases leading to the increase in numerator and decrease in denomonator leading to an increase in the IGR. Thus Decreasing the dividend payout ratio will increase the IGR.
If Return on Equity is reduced i.e. indirectly Net Income is reduced for the same equity the similar effect as in part for Net Income and thus reduces the IGR.
So decreasing dividend payout ratio increases the interna growth rate of a firm

Answer:
DeGraw Corporation
The dollar amount that DeGraw would actually receive after it exchanged yen for U.S. dollars is:
= $845,207
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Japanese Yen U.S. Dollar
Price Price
Sale of a solar heating station 130.5 million $932,143.86 (130.5m/140 yen)
Payment in 6 months' time 130.5 million $845,207.25 (130.5m/154.4 yen)
b) When the yen fell against the dollar from 140 yen to 154.4 yen, the dollar amount that DeGraw would receive reduced from $932,143 to $845,207.25. This is a loss of $86,935.61 due to exchange rate fluctuations.
Answer:
The new required rate of return is 13.32%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors require for investing in a stock based on its risk. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM model.
The formula for required rate of return (r) is:
r = rRF +Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- Beta is the stock's beta or measure of risk
- rpM is the market risk premium
The beta of the stock is:
11 = 5.5 + beta * 4.75
11 - 5.5 = beta * 4.75
5.5 / 4.75 = beta
beta = 1.15789
The new required rate of return will be:
r = 5.5 + 1.15789 * (4.75 + 2)
r = 13.315% rounded off to 13.32%
