Q

E.g : ROI
TRC division is making 82,000 profit with 500,000 investment
- company ants 15% ROI
- manager is thinking of spending 100,000 more to make 17,000 more profit

What if has less profit instead of making 17,000 it only made 16,000

A

Current ROI : 82,000 / 500,000 x 100=16.4
Then invesnt
82,000 + 17,000 =99,000 new profit
500,000 + 100,000=600,000
99,000 / 600,000 x 1000=16. 5%
- so it went up the ROI so that is good

Instead of 17,000 it only made 16,000
82,000 + 16,000=98,000
98,000 /600,000 x 1000=16.3 %
So ROI went down so NO

Q

How do you workout economic value added? (EVA )
E.g
Net profit after tax is 8.6 million
Cost included
- interest 2.3 million
- development cost 6.3 million ( product launched in may 2017 however was used for 1 year )
- adversting 1.6 million launch in June

Capital invested 30 million
Cost of capital = 13%

A

Net operating operating profit after tax ( adjusted ) - (capital x cost of capital )

Capital and cost of capital is always given
- we need to adjust net operating profit

For e.g you add
- Interest (2.3)
- for any development cost make sure you figure how long you are benefiting or using it and then add that figure ( 6.3 x 1/3 =2.1
6.3-2.1=4.2 ( make sure you add 4.2
- ignore anything that includes next year business ( ignore advertising )

Capital invested 30 x cost of capital 13= 3.9 million

8.6 + 2.3+ 4.2=15.1
Net profit 15.1 - 3.9=11.2
