Explanation / Answer


1.

Plowback ratio = b = 1-Payout ratio = 1-35% = 65%

ROA = Net income / Total assets = 4875/47200 = 10.328390%

.

Internal growth rate = ROA x b / (1 -ROA x b)

Internal growth rate = 10.328390% x 65% / (1 -10.328390% x 65%)

Internal growth rate = 7.20%

2.

Cash flow to creditors = Interest paid + (Repayment of loan - New loan)

Cash flow to creditors = 3380 + (9264 - 8220)

Cash flow to creditors = $4,424

Correct option is > $4,424
