For 2019, Bargain Basement Stores reported $11,500 of sales and $5,000 of operating costs (including depreciation). The company has $20,500 of total invested capital, the weighted average cost of that capital (the WACC) was 11%, and the federal-plus-state income tax rate was 25%. What was the firm's Economic Value Added (EVA), i.e., how much value did management add to stockholders' wealth during 2019

Respuesta :

Answer:

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $2,620

Explanation:

WACC = 11%

Capital = $20,500

Sales = $11,500

Operating cost = $5,000

Tax rate = 25%

EBIT = Sales - Operating cost

EBIT = $11,500 - $5,000

EBIT = $6,500

Economic Value Added (EVA) = EBIT (1 - T) - (WACC * Capital)

Economic Value Added (EVA) = 6,500*( 1 - 0.25) - (0.11 * $20,500)

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $4,875 - $2,255

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $2,620
