Answer: 6%
Explanation:
MJ’s Payout ratio = 60%
Retention ratio will be:
= 1 - Payout ratio
= 1 - 60%
= 40%
Return on equity = 15%
Wethem calculate the stable dividend growth rate for the firm which will be:
= Retention Ratio × return on equity
= 40% × 15%
= 0.4 × 0.15
= 0.06
= 6%
Therefore, the stable dividend growth will be 6%
