问题如下:
An analyst following Chevron Corp. (NYSE Euronext: CVX) wants to estimate the sustainable growth rate for the company by using the PRAT model. For this purpose, the analyst has compiled the data in the following table. Assets and equity values are for the end of the year; the analyst uses averages of beginning and ending balance sheet values in computing ratios based on total assets and shareholders’ equity. For example average total assets for 2007 would be computed as (148,786 + 132,628)/2 = $140,707. Note: All numbers except for EPS and DPS are in $ millions.
Using the overall mean value of the average component values calculated in Part A, the sustainable growth rate for Chevron is:
选项:
A.19.2%
18.3%
20.8%
解释:
The four components of PRAT are computed for 2007 as follows:
P (Profit margin) = NI/Sales = 18,688/214,091 = 0.0873
R (Retention) = b = (EPS – DPS)/EPS = (8.77 – 2.26)/8.77= 0.7423
A (Asset turnover) = Sales/Average total assets
= 214,091/0.5(148,786) + 132,628) = 1.5215
T (Leverage) = Average total assets/Average shareholders’ equity
= (148,786 + 132,628)/(77,088 + 68,935) = 1.9272
The components are similarly computed for the other years and summarized in the following table. Their average values are also included.
Using the average values for each component,
g = PRAT = (0.0812)(0.7390)(1.6250)(1.9736) = 0.1924 or 19.2 percent
The sustainable growth rate for Chevron based on the PRAT expression is 19.2 percent.
