Can anyone or Aswath please tell me why he/you use ROC in the fundamental determinant calculation of growth in the Free Cash Flow to Equity spreadsheet model and not ROE*Retention Ratio?

I do not know which spreadsheet you're refering to, but when it comes to the FCFE computation, growth is definitely a product of the retention rate and the ROE exactly as you hint. Anyway, it might be some kind of confusion in the paper....

ROC is used to calculate the growth for EBIT while ROE*Retention ratio is used for net profit.

it was a typo in one of his valuations. ROE should be used

Is this one of my spreadsheets? If so, I need to fix it...

Yes, its in the FCFE 2-stage model. But if you read a paper by you titled "Fundamental Determinants of Growth". You have the calculation of growth in EPS= retention ratio(ROC+D/E(ROC-interest rate(1-tax rate). Which makes sense becuase it basically is capturing the possible change in ROE due to leverage correct?
