First we calculate the return on equity(ROE) based on the Du-pont equation
ROE = Net profit margin * Total asset turnover * equity multiplier
Total asset turnover = 1/capital intensity =1/1.08
Equity multiplier = 1+ debt to equity = 1+ 0.54 = 1.54
net profit margin = 6.2% = 0.062
ROE = 0.062*1/1.08*1.54 = 0.0884 = 8.84%
Sustainable growth rate = ROE*(1- dividend payout)
Sustainable growth rate = 0.0884*(1-0.4)
Sustainable growth rate= 0.053 = 5.3%
Sustainable growth rate = 5.30%
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
The Annual Percentage Rate or APR for short is calculated by dividing the finance cost by the total amount borrowed in the following manner,
APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed.
To calculate the Finance charge we add the interest and the service charge.
Finance charge = 25 + 15
= $40
Back to the APR formula we will have,
APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed
APR = 40/500
= 0.08
APR is 8%.
