Answer:

a. 2.32 percent

Explanation:

The formula for internal growth rate(IGR)  = [tex]\frac{ROA *b}{1-(ROA*b)}[/tex]

where b= payout ratio

ROA = return on assets

ROA = Net Income / Total assets

ROA = 82,490/1,089,500

ROA = 0.0757

IGR therefore = (0.0757*0.30) / [1 - (0.0757*0.30) ]

IGR = 0.02271 /0.97723

IGR = 0.0232 or 2.32%

Therefore, the correct choice is A.
