Answer:

$4,941.96

Explanation:

Note: The complete question is attached as picture below

ROE = NI/TA

ROE = 9,702/81,000

ROE = 0.1198

The plowback ratio b, is (1 - payout ratio)

b =  1 - 30%

b =  1 - 0.30

b =  0.70

Sustainable growth rate = (ROE*b)/ (1 - (ROE*b)

Sustainable growth rate = 0.1198*(0.70) / (1 - 0.1198*(0.70)0

Sustainable growth rate = 0.0915

Sustainable growth rate = 9.15%

Maximum increase in sales = $54,000 * (0.0915)

Maximum increase in sales = $4,941.96
