Fina way of judging financial performance by measuring the amount by which the earnings of a project, an operation, or a corporation exceed or fall short of the total amount of capital that was originally invested by its owners.EXAMPLEEVA is conceptually simple: from net operating profit, subtract an appropriate charge for the opportunity cost of all capital invested in an enterprise—the amount that could have been invested elsewhere. It is calculated using this formula:Net operating profit less applicable taxes – Cost of capital = EVAIf a company is considering building a new plant, and its total weighted cost over ten years is $80 million, while the expected annual incremental return on the new operation is $10 million, or $100 million over ten years, then the plant’s EVA would be positive, in this case $20 million:$100 million – $80 million = $20 millionAn alternative but more complex formula for EVA is:(% Return on invested capital – % Cost of capital) × original capital invested = EVAAn objective of EVA is to determine which business units best utilize their assets to generate returns and maximize shareholder value; it can be used to assess a company, a business unit, a single plant, office, or even an assembly line. This same technique is equally helpful in evaluating new business opportunities.Abbr. EVA -
5 efficiency ratio
Fina way of measuring the proportion of operating revenues or fee income spent on overhead expenses.EXAMPLEOften identified with banking and financial sectors, the efficiency ratio indicates a management’s ability to keep overhead costs low. In banking, an acceptable efficiency ratio was once in the low 60s. Now the goal is 50, while better-performing banks boast ratios in the mid 40s. Low ratings usually indicate a higher return on equity and earnings.This measurement is also used by mature industries, such as steel manufacture, chemicals, or car production, that must focus on tight cost controls to boost profitability because growth prospects are modest.The efficiency ratio is defined as operating overhead expenses divided by turnover. If operating expenses are $100,000, and turnover is $230,000, then:100,000/230,000 = 0.43 efficiency ratioHowever, not everyone calculates the ratio in the same way. Some institutions include all non-interest expenses, while others exclude certain charges and intangible asset amortization.A different method measures efficiency simply by tracking three other measures: accounts payable to sales, days sales outstanding, and stock turnover. This indicates how fast a company is able to move its merchandise. A general guide is that if the first two of these measures are low and third is high, efficiency is probably high; the reverse is likewise true.To find the stock turnover ratio, divide total sales by total stock. If net sales are $300,000, and stock is $140,000, then:300,000/140,000 = 2.14 stock turnover ratioTo find the accounts payable to sales ratio, divide a company’s accounts payable by its annual net sales. A high ratio suggests that a company is using its suppliers’ funds as a source of cheap financing because it is not operating efficiently enough to generate its own funds. If accounts payable are $50,000, and total sales are $300,000, then:50,000/300,000 = 0.14 × 100 = 14% accounts payable to sales ratio
