Economic Growth ModelEconomic Growth Model
ROE = [(r – i)L + r](1 – tx)(1 – w)
There are many applications of this model:1. Solve for ROE given r, i, L, tx and w2. Solve for required r given ROE, i, L, tx and w3. Solve for maximum w for required ROE given r, i L and tx4. Solve for maximum L for required ROE given r, i tx and w
Basically we can treat this as one equation with one unknown andsolve for that unknown value. This allows us to examine the effectsof specific internal and external constraintsinternal and external constraints on the growth of thefirm’s equity base.
