 Economic value added - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Economic Value Added (EVA) is often defined as the value of an activity that is left over after subtracting from it the cost of executing that activity and the cost of having lost the opportunity of investing consumed resources in an alternative activity.
Shareholders of the company will receive a positive value added when the return from the equity employed in the business operations is greater than the cost of that capital; see Working capital management.
In the field of corporate finance, economic value added is a way to determine the value created, above the required return, for the shareholders of a company.

 What is EVA?
Put most simply, EVA is net operating profit minus an appropriate charge for the opportunity cost of all capital invested in an enterprise.
EVA is the only financial management system that provides a common language for employees across all operating and staff functions and allows all management decisions to be modeled, monitored, communicated and compensated in a single and consistent way - always in terms of the value added to shareholder investment.
As such, EVA is an estimate of true "economic" profit, or the amount by which earnings exceed or fall short of the required minimum rate of return that shareholders and lenders could get by investing in other securities of comparable risk.

 Economic Value Added
EVA (Economic Value Added) is a measure of shareholder value and is the value added by the company for its investors by generating profits in excess of the cost of capital employed by the company.
Economic Value Added computes the value created or destroyed each year by deducting a charge for capital from the NOPAT of the companies.
Therefore it is superior in measuring value creation to a firm vis-à-vis conventional costing parameters like RONW, ROTA, ROCE, etc as these measures can give a positive figure for profitability for the firm, while the EVA is negative at a profit of 90 rupees for the year.

 ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED (EVA)
Economic Value Added (EVA), or economic rent, is a widely recognized tool that is used to measure the efficiency with which a company has used its resources.

EVA = Net Profit (after tax but before interest) less cost of capital employed (equity + debt).

 Understanding Economic Value Added
Economic profit is NOPAT minus a capital charge, which represents a sort of rental fee charged to the company for its use of capital.
Of course, it fully serviced its debt, but the point of economic profit is to charge the company for the use of equity capital – when we incorporate this cost, we find that Disney lost (some would say "destroyed value") $765 million in economic profit over the year.
In other words, economic profit is the profits (or returns) our company must generate in order to satisfy the lenders and shareholders who have "rented" capital to the company.

 Understanding Economic Value Added
Quite simply, EVA is the after-tax cash flow a firm derives from its invested capital less the cost of that capital.
A key finding of the theorists who developed EVA is that reported profits and earnings per share do not correlate to shareholder value (in terms of the total market value of the firm), but EVA does-strongly.
Because business processes are a substantial, though largely hidden part of a firm's total capital, EVA is an essential tool for business process investment; it is the only way to determine whether a particular process is an asset or a liability.

 Economic Value Added (EVA) Working Paper by Chen and Dodd
Although using EVA® rather than RI may provide some benefit to the firm, the benefit may not be significant enough to warrant the extra cost involved in making the adjustments to the audited financial statements.
However, EVA® differs from earnings in that it includes the total cost of both debt and equity capital whereas accounting earnings include only interest expenses associated with the cost of debt capital.
EVA® advocates, however, criticize accounting earnings as a flawed measure due to its failure to include the total cost of capital and being unduly influenced by accrual-based accounting conventions (Stewart, 1991).

After the company pays for its capital costs whatever remains is economic profit, which can be distributed or reinvested accordingly.
