Transcribed Image Text:Please use the following information for the next two questions:
A bank develops the following linear discriminant model of the credit quality (i.e., a higher Z
means a better credit quality) based on their own loan database:
Z=B1X1+ B2X2 +2.0X3
where X1 is debt to asset ratio (long-term debts/total assets), ✗2 is return on asset (net
income/total assets), and X3 is earnings retention ratio (retained earnings/total assets). Based on
the estimates of coefficients provided the bank's risk management team, the coefficients of X1
and X2 are either 2 or -1.5. For one of its potential borrower, X₁ = 30%, X2 = 20%, and X3 =
90%.
11. What should be the value of coefficients of X1 and X2, B1 and B2 respectively?
