    You cannot be asked to calculate economic depreciation, but it is the drop in value due to the change in potential earnings. Because you cannot be asked to calculate it, we assume that it is equal to the accounting depreciations.
    For capital employed (for EVA) we use the capital employed at the start of the year (end of last year) if we have the information available.

    Yes – in that case you would have no choice.
    But better always is to use the opening capital employed if it is available.
