Answer: $400,000

Explanation: Given the following:

Operating Income (EBIT) = $4,000,000

Weighted average cost of Capital (WACC) = 10% = 0.1

Operating capital = $20,000,000

Taxes = 40% = 0.4

Economic Value Added (EVA) is given by;

EBIT x (1-Tax) - (WACC x Operating capital)

$4,000,000 * (1-0.4) - (0.1 * 20,000,000)

$4,000,000 * (0.6) - (2,000,000)

$2400,000 - $2,000,000

=$400,000
