Answer: 9.2%
Explanation:
The interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be calculated thus:
Firstly, we will calculate the previous risk premium on BBB bonds which will be:
= 11.5% - 8.7% = 2.8%
Then, the new risk premium on BBB bonds will be:
= Previous risk premium / 2
= 2.8% / 2
= 1.4%
Then, the interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be:
= 7.8% + 1.4%
= 9.2%
Answer:
Sustainable Growth Rate: 2.5%
Explanation:
Sustainable growth rate is calculated by multiplying return on equity with retention ratio.
Logic behind above is that whatever portion of net profit is retained by the Company, is used in the Company's operations, which earns certain percentage of equity known as return on equity. By multiplying both return on equity with retention ratio, we assume that the practice will continue for foreseeable future and the Company will continue to grow at the calculated growth rate.
Growth rate = Retention ratio * return on equity
Retention ratio = 50%
Return on equity = Net profit available for distribution / Opening equity
Return on Equity = (25,000 * 10%) / 50,000
Return on Equity = 5%
Growth Rate = 5% * 50%
Growth Rate = 2.5%
True. This is one of the most basic economic concepts which you should recite by heart.
