    Dear tutor,

    In the answer they did not include b/f Non cash expense into the Cap Employed figure.

    My understanding from the lectures is that we should include the b/f.

    Can you please confirm if I have misunderstood?

    Thank you in advance

    Non-cash expenditure was 12 in both 2006 and 2007.

    The b/f capital employed as at the start of 2006 (279) has not been affected by this expenditure.

    To my mind the b/f capital at the start of 2007 (book value 340) should have had 12 added back to it in respect of the non-cash expenditure during 2006.

    Thank you

    Yes I added back the non cash in both NP.

    I can see that this is not available for 2006, but I added it to my 340 in 2007 as well as leases and GW – ended up with 418.

    If this is to come up in an exam question, should I assume it has been added back already as may have happened in this questinon?

    No. There is no reason to make that assumption. Non-cash expenses would be deducted ro profit in the published accounts, butmshould not be when calculating EVA.
