Key Input Data

Tax rate 40%

Net operating working capital

 Operating Operating
2016 NOWC = current assets - current liabilities
2016 NOWC = $472,500 - $141,750
2016 NOWC = $330,750

Operating Operating
2015 NOWC = current assets - current liabilities
2015 NOWC = $450,000 - $135,000
2015 NOWC = $315,000

Total net operating capital

2016 TOC = NOWC + Fixed assets
2016 TOC = $330,750 + $330,750
2016 TOC = $661,500

2015 TOC = NOWC + Fixed assets

2015 TOC = $315,000 + $315,000
2015 TOC = $630,000

Investment in total net operating capital

2016 2015
2016 Inv. In TOC = TOC - TOC
2016 Inv. In TOC = $661,500 - $630,000
2016 Inv. In TOC = $31,500

Net operating profit after taxes

2016 NOPAT = EBIT x (1-T)
2016 NOPAT = $99,200 x 60%
2016 NOPAT = $59,520

Free cash flow

2016 FCF = NOPAT - Net investment in operating capital
2016 FCF = $59,520 - $31,500
2016 FCF = $28,020

Return on invested capital

2016 ROIC = NOPAT / Total net operating capital
2016 ROIC = $59,520 / $661,500
2016 ROIC = 9.0%

b. Assume that there were 15 million shares outstanding at the end of the year, the year-end closing
stock price was $65 per share, and the after-tax cost of capital was 8%. Calculate EVA and MVA for
the most recent year.

Additional Input Data

Stock price per share $65.00
# of shares (in thousands) 15,000
After-tax cost of capital 8.0%
Market Value Added
MVA = Stock price x # of shares - Total common equity
MVA = $65.00 x 15,000 - $544,538
MVA = $975,000 - $544,538
MVA = $430,462

Economic Value Added

EVA = NOPAT - (Operating Capital x After-tax cost of capital)
EVA = $59,520 - $661,500 x 8%
EVA = $59,520 - $52,920
EVA = $6,600
