    the bank's profits will decrease by $0.10 per $100 of assets

    Explanation:

    increase in revenues increase in expenses

    $40 x 5% = $2 $50 x 3% = $1.50

    $40 x 6% = $2.40 $50 x 4% = $2

    +$0.40 + $0.50

    if the interest rates increase, the bank's revenues will increase by $0.40 for every $100 worth of assets, but its expenses will also increase and in a higher proportion. The bank's expenses will increase by $0.50, so the net change will be $0.40 - $0.50 = - $0.10 or $0.10 less profits
