    This question is incomplete. However, with the available information, you can calculate sustainable growth rate.

    Explanation:

    Sustainable growth rate (SGR) is the rate at which the firm can grow using internally generated funds. The formula for SGR is as follows;

    SGR = ROE * b

    whereby ROE = return on earnings = 20% or 0.20 as a decimal

    b = retention rate or plow back ratio = 30% or 0.30 as a decimal

    SGR = 0.20 * 0.30 = 0.06

    Therefore, sustainable growth rate as a percentage is 6%
