Corporate Finance
Total Industries has $40 million in shareholders equity and sales of $ 150 million last year.
(a) Its target ratios are assets to sales ratio0.40 net profit margin 0.07 debt-equity ratio 0.50
and earnings retention 0.60 if these ratios correspond to steady-state model what is its
SGR?
(b) If instead of these ratios, what would be the SGR for next year if the company moved
from steady-state and had the following longest? Assets to sales ratio 0.40 net profit
margin 0.06; debt equity ratio 0.45; dividend of 15 million and no nets equity financing.
Solution
Requirement (a)
We know that SGR under Steady-State model:-
0.063 0.063
SGR = 0.400.063 = 0.337 = 0.1869 = 18.69% Ans.

Problem-2
Zippo industry has equity capital of tk 12 million, total debt of tk 8 million and sales last year of
tk 300 million.
(a) It has target assets to sales ratio of 0.33367 a target net profit margin of 0.04 a target debt-
equity ratio of 0.6667 and a target earning retention rate of 0.70 in steady state model what
is its sustainable growth rate?
(b) Suppose now the company has established for next year a target assets to sales ratio of
0.62 a target net profit margin of 0.05 and a target debt-equity ratio of 0.08 it wishes to pay
an annual dividend of tk 0.30 million and raise tk 1 million in equity capital next year what
is its sustainable growth rate too next year? Why does it differ from that in part (a)?

The company has moved from steady-state with higher target operating efficiency a higher debt
ratio and the sale of common stock all of those things profit a high rate of growth in sales next
year. Unless further changed in this direction occur the SGR will decline in future years.
Problem- 3
Apex Ltd had equity capital of $ 1 million debt of $80 million and sales of last year $30 million
the company has the following target ratios during 2003: D/E= 0.80, A/S=0.60, net profit margin
0.06, B=0.70. Furthermore the company has a new equity of $25 million and paid dividend of $
10 million during 2003.
Calculate sustainable growth rate for the company for 2003:

E( R A) = {(0.25.13) + (0.50.15) + (0.25 17)}

Consider a three stock portfolio consisting of stocks X, Y and Z with expected returns of 12%,
20% and 17% respectively. Assume that 50% of investible funds are invested in stock X, 30% in
Y and 20% in Z.
Calculate portfolio expected return.
Solution
We know that,
The expected return on any portfolio can be calculated as
n
E( R P)= W i
E ( R i)
i=0
Where,
E (RP) = Expected return from portfolio
Wi = Proportion invested in asset i

Expected return for security N
We know that,
