Company reports the following information:
Current liabilities $40,000
Adjusted after tax operating income $11,400
Total assets $215,000
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) 12%
The adjusted figures reflect EVA adjustments used by Kendall & Partners. What is the EVA for Bellingham Division?
a. ($18,600)
b. ($12,840)
c. ($9,600)
d. ($6,600)
Ans:
Economic Value Added (EVA) : (Return on Invested Capital - WACC) * Capital Invested
Return on Invested Capital : Operating Income / (Total Asset - Current Liability)
= $11,400 / ($215,000 - $40,000) = 6.5143%
WACC : 12%
Capital Invested : Total Asset - Current Liability : $215,000 - $40,000 = $175,000
Economic Value Added (EVA) : (6.5143% - 12%) * $175,000 = ($9,600)
So correct answer is Option C.
