Document Summary
Market capitalization total market value of equity. Market capitalization = share price * # of shares outstanding. Market value added (mva) market capitalization minus book value of equity. Mva = market capitalization bv of equity. Economic value added and accounting rates of return. Economic value added (eva or residual income) measures the net profit of a firm after deducting the cost of capital. Eva or residual income is a better measure of company performance than accounting profits. Eva recognizes that companies need to cover their cost of capital before they can add value. The firm only creates value if it can earn more than its cost of capital. *recall the cost of capital is the minimum rate of return that investors expect (it equals the return that investors can get for another investment with the same level of risk) Residual income (eva) = after-tax operating profit (cost of capital * total capital)
