EVA

Hello Mr Gromit, Computation of EVA Assuming we have non-cash expense of $12m for 2008 and 2009(current year), should we add $12m to the capital employed of the current year? If YES, is this because of $12m non cash expense of 2008 or its because of the current year?

Yes, if the cash expense were not there the CE would be $12 greater. When doing the EVA for 2009 you use the CE at the start of that year, so what you are adding back to CE is the $12M that was charged in 2008.
