Last year Oliver Inc had a total assets turnover of 1.60 and an equity multiplier of 1.85. Its sales were $200,000 and its net income was $10,000. The CFO believes that the company could have operated more efficiently, lowered its costs, and increased its net income by $5,000 without changing its sales, assets, or capital structure. Had it cut costs and increased its net income in this amount, by how much would the ROE have changed?
