Total debt to asset ratio and deposit to asset ratio have a positive significant relationship with the bank's profitability while the other three independent variables which are growth, spread and spread have an insignificant relationship with bank's profitability. The results has been discussed in chapter four to provide a meaningful information. As for the recommendation it is vital for the banks to focus on the significant variables in aiming to obtain a maximum profit of the core business activities and also in determining the optimal capital structure.
