  24. Analysis Based on the Market Value of the Firm • Market value added ( MVA )= Total Market value – Total Capital MVA is the market value of debt, preferred stock, and common equity less the Capital raised by investors or Retained Earnings. The capital market’s assessment of the accumulated NPV of all of the firm’s past and present projected investment projects. Finance 311

  25. Economic Value Added (EVA) • Economic value added ( EVA ) = [ Return on total capital (r) – Cost of Capital (k )] x Capital • EVA = EBIT(1 – Corporate tax rate) – (Operating Capital)(k) • r = net operating profits after taxes divided by beginning of year capital (Return on Capital) • k = Weighted After-Tax Cost of Capital Finance 311

  26. EVA - Continued The yearly contribution of a firm’s operations to the creation of MVA. • EVA measures the extent to which the firm has increased shareholder value in a given year. • EVA represents the residual value that remains after the cost of all capital, including equity capital has been deducted.

  29. The Cash Flow Concept • Accounting income Vs Cash flow • Cash flow is the relevant source of value for the firm • ATCF = EAT + Noncash charges • ATCF = EAT + Depreciation + Deferred taxes • Free Cash Flow (FCF) = EBIT(1 – T) – Net Investment in operating capital • FCF = (EBIT(1 – T) + Depreciation) – Gross investment in operating capital Finance 311

  30. Statement of Cash Flows • Presents the net cash provided by operating, investing, or financing activities • Direct method presents the net cash provided by operating, investing, or financing activities • Indirect method presents the adjustments to net income to show net cash provided Used for public financial reports • The final results are identical Finance 311
