Suppose Levered Bank is funded with 2.1% equity and 97.9% debt. Its current market capitalization is $10.42 billion, and its market-to-book ratio is 0.8.

The interest rate on its debt is expected to remain at 3.7%. a. What is Levered Bank's expected ROE with 2.1% equity? b. Assuming perfect capital markets, what will Levered Bank's expected ROE be after it increases its equity to 4.2% ? c. Consider the difference between Levered Bank's ROE and its cost of debt.
