If EF reinvests 40% of its profits, does that mean the growth rate is 0.4 * 0.12? I hope I got that right!

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to find the cost of equity using dividends. I think the growth rate is based on the reinvestment percentage and return on reinvested funds.
