how much a firm can grow its assets using retained earnings as the only source of finance

24
Q

25
What does the sustainable growth rate tell us?
how much a firm can grow its assets using internal financing and issuing only enough debt to maintain a constant debt ratio
26
What is the formula for SGR?
SGR = ROE x b / (1 - (ROE x b))
27
what allows the SGR to become larger than IGR?
when there is debt financing
28
when will both SGR and IGR increase?
when the Net income of a firm increases
29
What happens in actual growth rate is higher than SGR?
the firm will need external financing in the next period
30
What happens in actual growth rate is lower than SGR?
company is potentially less profitable than it could be
31
which four factors can increase SRG?
- increase external financing (equity and debt) if +NPV - Reduce dividend payout - increase PM (i.e. reduce expenses) - sell asset surplus to decrease required assets
32
when is IGR = SGR?
when there is not debt financing
33
when are IGR and SGR = 0?
when the firm doesn't retain any funding
34
when retention ratio increases what is the impact on EFN?
EFN would decline, more internal funding sources available, and it will have to take on more debt to keep the debt/equity ratio constant
