    The answer is 15%

    Explanation:

    sustainable growth rate = Retention Rate * Return on Equity

    sustainable growth rate = 0.4 * 0.3738=0.14955 * 100 = 15%

    Retention Rate = [ (Net Income - Dividends) / Net Income) ]

    Retention Rate = ($63,000-$37,800) / $63,000 = 0.4

    Return on Equity = (Net Income / Total Shareholder's Equity)

    Return on Equity = ($63,000/$168,500) = 0.3739
