June 2011 EVA question 1

Dear tutor, Here they have taken the Operating proft to calculate and not the PBT figure. I took the PBT and deducted tax - however mine answer was wrong. Should Operating proft figure always be used if given in the question instead to deducting interest after tax etc? thank you

EVA measure divisional performance. To base this on a figure after the deduction of non-controllable and arbitrary head office charges does not seem a good approach. See first paragraph of the answer under the heading 'Divisional performance measures'.
