Answer:

The internal growth rate is 4.36%

Explanation:

net income = 8.3%*386,400

                   = $32,071.20

net working capital = current assets – current liabilities

current assets – 37200 = 16700

                                        = $53,900

total assets = current assets + net fixed assets

                   = 53,900 + 391,500    

                   = 445,400

Then:

ROA = 53,900/445400

        = 0.072005

b = 1 - 48% = 0.52

internal growth rate = 0.072005*0.52/1 - (0.072005*0.52)

                                 = 0.041763/0.958237

                                 = 4.36%

Therefore, The internal growth rate is 4.36%
