2023 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net income – Cash dividends declared) ÷ Net income
= (5,240,4004,221,300) ÷ 5,240,400
= 0.19

2 Profit margin = 100 × Net income ÷ Revenue
= 100 × 5,240,400 ÷ 34,124,100
= 15.36%

3 Asset turnover = Revenue ÷ Total assets
= 34,124,100 ÷ 64,006,300
= 0.53

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Total Eli Lilly and Company shareholders’ equity
= 64,006,300 ÷ 10,771,900
= 5.94

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.46 × 23.89% × 0.56 × 7.87
= 48.00%


Dividend growth rate (g) implied by Gordon growth model

g = 100 × (P0 × rD0) ÷ (P0 + D0)
= 100 × ($778.18 × 7.19%$4.52) ÷ ($778.18 + $4.52)
= 6.57%

where:
P0 = current price of share of Eli Lilly & Co. common stock
D0 = the last year dividends per share of Eli Lilly & Co. common stock
r = required rate of return on Eli Lilly & Co. common stock

where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model

g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5

Calculations

g2 = g1 + (g5g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)

= 48.00% + (6.57%48.00%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)

g4 = g1 + (g5g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
