Answer 1

A. The standard percentage cost of capital multiplied by the average capital employed.

In corporate finance and economics and as a part of fundamental analysis, The Economic Value Added (EVA) is defined as an estimate of a firm's economic profit, or the value created in excess of the required return of the company's shareholders.
