Good foods has net income of $82,490, total equity of $518,700, and total assets of $1,089,500. the dividend payout ratio is .30. what is the internal growth rate? a) 2.32 percentb) 3.57 percentc) 5.60 percentd) 2.87 percente) 4.94 percent

5.6%

Explanation:

Internal growth rate can be calculated as below:

Internal growth rate = (Return on asset x Retention Rate)/[1 - (Return on asset x Retention Rate)]

Retention rate  = 1 - Payout ratio = 1 - 30% = 70%

Return on asset = Net income/Asset = 82,490/1,089,500 = 7.6%

Putting all the number together, we have:

Sustainable growth rate = (7.6% x 70%)/[1 - (7.6% x 70%)] = 5.6%
