Expert Solution

ROE = Net Income/ Total Equity*100

Earnings before Interest and Taxes                               $20,000

Less Interest on Debt ($160,000*60%*8%)                   $7680

Earnings before Profit                                                      $12320

Less Taxes@35%                                                                $4312

Profit after Taxes                                                               $8008

    

Total Equity = $160,000*40% =$64000

So ROE = $8008/ $64000* 100 =12.513%       

The nearest option is option (b) with 12.153% so it will be option (b)
