Profitability remains a challenge for banks and thrifts withless than​ $2 billion of assets. The business problem facing a bankanalyst relates to the factors that affect return on assets​ (ROA),an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its totalassets. Data collected from a sample of 20 community banks includethe ROA​ (%), the efficiency ratio​ (%), as a measure of bankproductivity​ (the lower the efficiency​ ratio, the​ better), andtotal​ risk-based capital​ (%), as a measure of capital adequacy.Complete parts​ (a) through​ (g) below.
a. State the multiple regression equation.
Let X1i represent the efficiency ratio​ (%) and let X2irepresent the total​ risk-based capital​ (%).
Yi=( )+( Â Â ) X1i+ ( ) X2i
​(Round the constant to two decimal places as needed.)
