Solution

Economic Value Added (EVA) is a measure of a company's financial performance based on the residual wealth calculated by deducting its cost of capital from its operating profit, adjusted for taxes on a cash basis.

The formula for EVA is:

EVA = NOPAT - (WACC * Capital Employed)

Given the values in the question:

NOPAT = 500,000CapitalEmployed=500,000 Capital Employed = 2,000,000 WACC = 8% (or 0.08 in decimal form)

We can substitute these values into the formula:

EVA = 500,000(0.08500,000 - (0.08 * 2,000,000)

Calculating the value inside the brackets first:

0.08 * 2,000,000=2,000,000 = 160,000

Then subtract this from NOPAT:

EVA = 500,000500,000 - 160,000

So, the company's EVA is $340,000.
