Given the firm’s cost of capital (WACC) is 11%, calculate the firm’s Economic Value Added (EVA) during 2020 and explain the meaning of EVA to this firm's investors.

Answer 1

EVA = NOPAT - (Invested Capital * WACC)

Where:

• NOPAT = Net operating profit after taxes
• Invested capital = Debt + capital leases + sharholders' equity
• WACC = Weighted average cost of capital

NOPAT = (Net Income + Tax + Interest + Non-Operating Gains/Losses) * (1 – Tax rate)
if we see their past data they are taking 36% tax rate we will also use that.
NOPAT = (573,609+328,971+8653-1634)*(1-0.36)

= 582143.4

Invested Capital = 195000+1309923+3834998

= 5339921

WACC = 11%

EVA = 582143.4 - (5339921 * 0.11)

= -5247.91
