Answer #1

EBIT = [Net Income / (1 - t)] + Interest

= [$118M / (1 - 0.40)] + $40M

= $196.67M + $40M = $236.67M

NOPAT = EBIT x (1 - t) = $236.67M x (1 - 0.40) = $142M

EVA = NOPAT - [(A-T cost of capital) x (Operating Capital)]

= $142M - [0.13 x $826M] = $142M - $107.38M = $34.62M

Hence, Option "C" is correct.
