    Hi

    Why is amortisation of goodwill added back versus deducted for EVA calculation?

    Regards

    In general, EVA does not want non-cash items deducted from income. Amortisation of goodwill is a non-cash adjustment, so the charge needs to be added back for each year (it will already have been deducted in the income statement) . The accumulated deductions are added back to capital employed.

    Hi Ken

    Kaplan textbook advises amortisation of advertising, R&D and employee training should be deducted from NOPAT. is the treatment difference to goodwill is that goodwill has already being deducted while in the case of the above we wouldn’t normally depreciate?

    Thanks

    Ed
