Hi Guys, I have one more question for you.
I have calculated the Eva as follows, it does match with examiner’s answer. I have added back the depreciation but the answer does not include depreciation. Please let me know where I am going wrong.
Eva= NOPAT – ( wacc* capital employed)
Calculation of NOPAT for manufacturing /sales
Profit before tax 301
Tax @ 30%. (90.3)
______
Pat 210.7Add back
Non cash
Items. 4Depreciation 88
______
NOPAT. 302.7
______Capital employed does not have any adjustments.
Wacc calculations
9%+(9%*5.5%)
9.495%
Therefore Eva is 302.7-(1294*9.495%) =180
But the examiners answer is 158. I don’t get it. Why? I would appreciate if you could explain to me
Many thanks
November 26, 2012 at 11:39 am #106907We assume accounting depreciation is economic depreciation in case nothing is mentioned so it will not be added back
November 27, 2012 at 5:29 am #106909How can we assume something without further information. In the question, it did not say economic depreciation or did not say anything about the way depreciation was calculated. Therefore I assumed is an accounting depreciation. I am very confused now. How do we differentiate?
November 27, 2012 at 8:27 am #106910If nothing is mentioned economic depreciation is accounting depreciation
November 27, 2012 at 11:55 am #106911thank you very much abidfatima5. I did not know that. Good luck with p5.
December 3, 2012 at 1:30 am #106913WACC is assume to be nortional interest which is 9%. SO you do not need to recalculate the WACC.

December 5, 2012 at 9:16 am #106915Anyone know whether we need to add accounting depreciation and minus economic depreciation from Capital employed? Pls help.
