Answer:

From the attached excel file, we have:

a-1. We have:

ROE under recession = 10.43%

ROE under normal = 13.21%

ROE under expansion = 14.92%

a-2. We have:

Percentage changes in ROE when the economy enters a recession = -21.00%

Percentage changes in ROE when the economy expands = 13.00%

b-1. We have:

ROE under recession = 15.63%

ROE under normal = 21.06%

ROE under expansion = 24.42%

b-2. We have:

Percentage changes in ROE when the economy enters a recession = -25.77%

Percentage changes in ROE when the economy expands = 15.95%

c-1. We have:

ROE under recession = 8.14%

ROE under normal = 10.30%

ROE under expansion = 11.64%

c-2. We have:

Percentage changes in ROE when the economy enters a recession = -21.00%

Percentage changes in ROE when the economy expands = 13.00%

c-3. We have:

ROE under recession = 12.19%

ROE under normal = 16.43%

ROE under expansion = 19.05%

c-4. We have:

Percentage changes in ROE when the economy enters a recession = -25.77%

Percentage changes in ROE when the economy expands = 15.95%
