Question

Please use the information below for the next three questions.

EBIT = $80                 

Tax rate = 30%

Net investment in operating capital = $400

(book also calls it total net

operating capital and operating

capital)

WACC = 12%

Book value of debt = $200

Equity supplied by investors = $200

Shares outstanding = 10

Price of stock = $19

Market value of debt = $205

1.     Calculate EVA, in percent.

a)     -6.00%

b)     -2.00%

c)     2.00%

d)     4.50%

e)     6.00%

f)     12.00%

g)     14.00%

2.     Calculate market value added (MVA).

a)     -$15.00

b)     -$5.00

c)     $0.00

d)     $5.00

e)     $15.00

f)     $20.00

g)     $190.00

h)    $200.00

3.     Using just the notion of whether EVA and MVA are positive or negative, does it appear that investors are properly valuing the firm based on the MVA calculated in question 2 assuming the EVA determined in question 1 will continue in the future? (Hint: remember class discussion and the relationship between EVA and MVA.)

a)     Yes

b)     No

Explanation / Answer

1.

EVA = NOPAT - WACC x Capital Employed = 80(1-0.3) - 12% of 400 = $2

EVA in % = (2/400)*100 = 2 %


2.

MVA = Market Value of Firm - Capital Invested = (205 + 19*10_ - 400 = -$5


3. b)NO

Since the firm has a posive EVA but in the future it will not be able to continue because the firm has negative MVA.
