    a. Calculate Watervan's economic value added (EVA). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places.)

    economic value added = after-tax operating income - (cost of capital x total capitalization) = $70.80 - $32.05 = $38.75

    after-tax operating income = [ (1 - tax rate) x interest expense] + net income = [ (1 - 0.35) x 12] + 63 = 70.80 (cost of capital x total capitalization) = 8.5% x ($121 + $256) = 32.05

    b. What is the company's return on capital? (Use start-of-year rather than average capital.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

    return on capital = net profit before taxes / total capitalization = $97 / $377 = 25.73%

    c. What is its return on equity? (Use start-of-year rather than average equity.) (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

    return on equity = net income / shareholders' equity = $63 / $256 = 24.61%

    d. Is the company creating value for its shareholders

    Yes, this company creates value for its shareholders because it is generating profits and increasing retained earnings which in turn increase stockholders' equity = more shareholders' wealth.

    EVA = Conventional divisional profit ± accounting adjustments - cost of capital charge on divisional assets

    Return on capital

    Return on capital measures the profitability of the firm as a whole in relation to the capital employed

    Return on capital = Net Operating Profit After Tax / Invested Capital

    Return on equity

    Return on equity measures the Return Earned on the Owner's Investment in the Company
