The green giant has a 5% profit margin and a 40% dividend payout ratio. the total asset turnover is 1.40 and the equity multiplier is 1.50. what is the sustainable rate of growth?
Sustainable Growth Rate is = ( 1- Dividend Payout Ratio ) X RoE
Now, We have to find out the RoE of the given problem.
Return on Equity (RoE) = (Net Profit Margin) X (Asset Turnover)
X(Equity Multiplier).
= (0.05) X (1.40) X (1.50)
=0.105 or 10.5%
Now Sustainable Growth Rate(SGR) = (1- .40) X 0.105
= .063 or 6.3%
So, According to the question SGR of Green Giant is = 6.3%
