Question

***PLEASE SHOW STEPS!!!

(EVA)

XYZ Company's net operating profit before taxes is $100 million. The tax rate is 45%. XYZ's total assets (invested capital) are $1,000 million, and current liabilities are $130 million. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 10%.

Required:

Compute the economic value added (EVA).
To do that, first compute NOPAT = $________million (if you get say $55.4million, enter 55.4, not 55,400,000)
After that, compute EVA = $_______ million (If you get a negative number, enter it with a minus sign. E.g., if you got negative $3.25 million, enter -3.25)

Explanation / Answer

EVA = Net operating after tax - (WACC * Cost of capital)

Capital invested    =    $ 1,000 million

WACC    = 10 %

     EVA    =     55   - (1000*10%)

              = -45 million

Net operating before tax 100 Less Tax 45 Net operating after tax 55
