Given a company has a 10% ROE this year and expected ROE for next year is 12% (on both old and new projects). And the company has a payout ratio of 80%.

Question: what will the firm's growth in earning be in next year?.

I got an answer of 22.4% which seems a bit too large. Did I make any mistake?

Answer #1

rate positively .. let me know if you need any clarification..

Given that -
ROE = 12%
Payout ratio = 80%
Retention ratio = (1-payout ratio)
=1-80% 20%
Growth rate = ROE*retention ratio
12%*20%
2.4%
Ans = 2.4%
