Its return on equity is 22% what is the maximum possible dividend payout rate the firm can maintain without resorting to additional equity issues? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer es a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.) Maximum dividend payout ratio 0 61%

Solution

Plowback ratio = Dividend Growth Rate/ROE

= 14%/22%

= 0.6364

Maximum Dividend Payout Ratio = 1- Plowback ratio

= 1 - 0.6364

= 0.3636 or 36.4 %
