Answer:

D. 16.06%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the firm's sustainable rate of growth using this formula

Sustainable growth rate = ROE * plowback ratio

Let plug in the formula

Sustainable growth rate = 182* ( ($2.98- .35)/$2.98)

Sustainable growth rate = .1606*100

Sustainable growth rate =16.06%

Therefore the firm's sustainable rate of growth is 16.06%
