Last year Blease Inc had a total assets turnover of 1.33 and an equity multiplier of 1.75. Its sales were $305,000 and its net income was $10,600. The firm finances using only debt and common equity, and its total assets equal total invested capital.

Had it cut costs and increased its net income by this amount, how much would the ROE have changed? Do not round your intermediate calculations.
