Debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 45 percent dividend payout ratio. What is the internal growth rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Internal growth rateExplanation / Answer
Plowback ratio = b = 1-Payout ratio = 1-45% = 55%
ROA = Net income / Total assets = 4977/43440 = 11.457182%
.
Internal growth rate = ROA x b / (1 -ROA x b)
Internal growth rate = 11.457182% x 55% / (1 -11.457182% x 55%)
Internal growth rate = 6.73%
