    The sustainable growth rate for Northern Lights Co. is 33%

    Explanation:

    Profit margin = 9.4 %

    Capital intensity ratio = 0.55

    Debt-equity ratio = 0.70

    Net income = $ 105,000

    Dividends = $ 40,000

    Revenue = Net income / profit margin = 105,000 / 9.4% = $1,117,021

    Capital intensity ratio = Total Assets / Total revenue

    Total Assets = Capital intensity ratio x Total revenue = 0.55 x $1,117,021

    Total Assets = $614,362

    Asset turnover ratio = Revenue / Total Assets = $1,117,021 / $614,362 = 1.82

    Debt to equity ratio = debt / equity

    Equity = Debt / debt to equity ratio

    1 = Debt / 0.7

    Debt = 0.7

    Asset = Equity + Debt = 1 + 0.7 = 1.7

    Equity multiplier is = 1.7

    Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 40,000/105,000 = 1 - 0.38 = 0.62

    ROE = profit margin * total asset turnover ratio * equity multiplier

    ROE = 9.4% x 1.82 x 1.7

    ROE = 0.291

    ROE = 29.1%

    Sustainable Growth rate = Retention Rate - Return on equity

    Sustainable Growth rate = 0.62 - 0.291 = 0.329 = 32.9% = 33%
