Expert Solution

Adam's EBIT=   7000  
Tax is not given. Equity amount is $35000. debt is no there. so EBIT will be net income.      
ROE = 7000/35000*100=      
20 %
            
Bob's EBIT=   7000  
Equity =    17500  
Interest on debt of $17500= 17500*10/100=   1750  
Net income = EBIt - interest      
      
7000-1750=   5250  
ROE= 5250/17500*100=      
30      
So, Adam   ROE = 20%  
Bob's ROE   30%
