Ramble On Co. wishes to maintain a growth rate of 13.6 percent per year, a debt-equity ratio of 1.8, and a dividend payout ratio

Korvikt [17]

Answer: 5.99%

Explanation:

Based on the question,

Dividend payout ratio = 30%

Therefore, the retention ratio will be:

= 1 - 30%

= 70%

Growth rate = 13.6%

We'll the use the sustainable growth rate formula which will be:

0.136 = (ROE x 0.7)/ (1-(ROE x 0.7))

0.136(1 - (0.7ROE)) = 0.7ROE

ROE = 0.136/0.7952

ROE = 0.171026

Then, the Profit margin will be:

ROE = Profit Margin x Asset Turnover x Equity multiplier

0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x (1 + 1.8)

0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x 2.8

PM = 0.171026 x 0.98/2.8

PM = 0.0598591

Profit margin = 5.99%

Why is compound interest preferable to simple interest?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Compound interest pays interest on the principal and the interest

Explanation:

Compound interest is preferred because it calculates interest on the principal amount and the accrued interest. In compounding interest, the interest earned in the period is added to the principal to become the new principal amount. Interest earned at the end of every year will higher than the previous period as the principal amount increases at the beginning of a period.

Interest earned by the compound interest method grows much faster compared to the fixed-rate interest method. Investors wishing to have better returns from their savings will prefer the compound interest method.
