Answer 1

$31.76 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Economic Value Added is the residual wealth left for shareholders after having accounted for the financing needs of the company as shown by the formula below:

EVA=NOPAT-(WACC*invested capital)

NOPAT is the net operating profit after tax =operating profit(EBIT)*(1-tax rate)

Net income=Earnings before tax*(1-tax rate)

net income= $55 million

EBT=unknown

tax rate=40.0%

$55=EBT*(1-40.0%)

$55=EBT*0.60

EBT=$55/0.60

EBT=$91.67

EBIT=EBT+interest

EBIT=$91.67+$19

EBIT=$110.67

NOPAT=$110.67*(1-40%)

NOPAT=$66.41

WACC=9.0%

perating capital employed=$385

EVA=$66.41-(9.0%*$385)

EVA=$31.76 million
