Dear Tutor, I have question about Question #3, exam December 2012. Why there was no adjustment to capital employed as to economic depreciation? I ACCA technical article about EVA is written, that we should Adjust value of non-current assets (and capital employed) to reflect economic depreciation not accounting depreciation.
“In previous years, it can be assumed that economic and accounting depreciation were the same.” ie for 2011 and before. So, the opening CE as at 1/1/2012 is not affected by historical depreciation adjustments. Remember EVA uses opening CE.
