First, NI decreases ------- EBIT is the same before and after. After the capital structure changed, the co. has to pay interest on debt. So NI will be lower.
Second, Return on Equity= NI/ EQUITY --------- NI decreased. But Equity decreased in a much larger scale. Because Asset= Lia+ Equity Asset decreased and Liability increased so Equity decreased largely. In that case ROE increased.
You don't really need calculation to find the answer
Hope it helps
