Use the income statement and balance sheet provided to make recommendation for the amount of dividend (if any). How are retained earnings impacted and what does this mean for the organization?
Compute the Internal Growth Rate and Sustainable Growth Rate using current (2015) financial information and then a second scenario; if we issue a dividend payment of $3 million.
