【Answer to question 1】B
【analysis】
B is correct. Sustainable growth rate = Retention ratio × ROE The higher a company’s return on equity (ROE) and its ability to finance itself from internally generated funds (a higher retention ratio), the greater its sustainable growth rate. In the five-factor ROE, any factor that increases ROE will increase sustainable growth: ROE = Tax burden × Interest burden × Earnings before interest and taxes margin × Asset turnover × Leverage A higher tax burden ratio (Net income/Earnings before tax) implies that the company can keep a higher percentage of pre-tax profits; this result implies a lower tax rate and a higher ROE.
A is incorrect. Higher retention (lower payout) increases sustainable growth.
C is incorrect. Lower interest burden means that the company has high borrowing costs, reducing pre-tax income relative to EBIT and reducing ROE and sustainable growth.
【Answer to question 2】A
【analysis】
A is correct. The debt-to-equity ratio decreased, thereby improving solvency; the fixed charge ratio remained the same.
B is incorrect. The fixed charge coverage stays the same
C is incorrect. From table above, it was shown that the solvency improved since D/E decreased. But if the candidate incorrectly uses only LTD in the ratio, the ratio does increase. See table below
成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習，即使是一點點的進步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
