Respuesta :

Answer:

7.88%

Explanation:

Given that,

Dividend earned last year = $5.08 per share

Dividend paid = $2.00 per share

Return on equity, ROE = 13 percent

Retention ratio:

= (Dividend earned last year - Dividend paid) ÷ Dividend earned last year

= ($5.08 - $2.00) ÷ $5.08

= $3.08 ÷ $5.08

= 0.6062

Sustainable growth rate:

= Retention ratio × Return on equity

= 0.6062 × 0.13

= 0.078806 or 7.88%
