Answer:

$3,765.82

Explanation:

first determine the current ROE = net income / equity = $6,204 / $56,100 = 0.110588235

now the plowback ratio = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 20% = 0.8

the sustainable growth rate = (ROE x plowback ratio) / [1 -  (ROE x plowback ratio)] = (0.110588235 x 0.8) / [1 -  (0.110588235 x 0.8)] = 0.088470588 / (1 - 0.088470588) = 0.088470588 / 0.911529411 = 0.097057304

maximum dollar increase = $38,800 x 0.097057304  = $3,765.82
