goals:
- Adjust financial leverage to the optimal level.
- Implement efficiencies in administrative functions.
- Reduce research and development (R&D) expenses.
Q. Which of management’s three strategic goals will least likely result in a higher EVA for DongSun?
- Goal 1
- Goal 2
- Goal 3
Solution
C is correct. By definition, EVA = NOPAT – (C% × TC), where NOPAT is the net operating profit after taxes, C% is the cost of capital, and TC is the total capital employed. Efficiencies in the administrative functions will decrease operating expenses, increase NOPAT, and thus increase EVA. Adjusting financial leverage to the optimal level will decrease the cost of capital and thus increase EVA. R&D costs are added back to NOPAT when calculating EVA. Therefore, decreasing R&D will serve to lower NOPAT and thus lower EVA.
首先为什么研发费加回导致nopat降低?其次研发费,战略投资、递延所得税,经营租赁,LIFO这几项为何要在计算nopat时调整可否解释一下?
