Fiterman’s equity investors have typically demanded an expected return of at least 25% before they will buy the company’s stock. Evaluate Fiterman’s performance using both ROE and EVA® approaches.

ROE %
EVA® $
(a)
Return on equity = (Net Income/ Equity)*100
= (5669/14644)*100
= 38.7%
Therefore ROE is 38.7
(b)
Economic Value Added= Net Operating Profit After Tax - (Weightage Avg. Cost of Capital * Capital Employed)
Net Operating Profit After Tax = Earning before Interest and Tax * (1- tax rate)
= 9931*(1-0.35)
=$ 6455.15
Capital Employed= DEBT + EQUITY
= 17167+14644
= $ 31811
Cost of debt after considering tax = 8%(1-tax rate)
= 8*0.65
= 5.2%
Weightage Avg. Cost of Capital = Cost of debt* (Weightage of debt/ Total of debt and equity)
+ Cost of equity * (Weightage of debt/ Total of debt and equity)
= 5.2%* (17167/31811) + 25%( 14644/31811)
= 2.806% + 11.509%
= 14.315%
Therefore
EVA = 6455.15 - (31811*14.315%)
= 6455.15 - 4553.74
= 1901 ROUND OFF
In the given case, return on equity (38.7%) is higher than is higher than the desired rate of return(25%)
Further EVA is also Positive.
Therefore, performance of Fiterman Inc. is good.
