Problem $3-43$ Sustainable Growth and Outside Financing $[$LO $3]$

You$$ve collected the following information about Caccamisse, Incorporated:

Sales $=$ $ $260,000$

Net income $=$ $ $17,300$

Dividends $=$ $ $6,100$

Total debt $=$ $ $56,000$

Total equity $=$ $ $87,000$

What is the sustainable growth rate for the company assuming no external equity is allowed?

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.$

Assuming it grows at this rate, how much new borrowing will take place in the coming year, assuming a constant debt$-$equity ratio? $($Note: this is tricky! You must determine how much assets will grow based on the growth rate in the first answer $($remember assets $=$ debt and equity$).$ Then, multiply the new assets by the original total debt ratio $($total liabilities $/$ assets$).)$

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.$

What growth rate could be supported with no outside financing at all?

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.$
