3. Need for EVA
• Previously Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
techniques such as IRR, NPV were there but no
tooltomeasureoverallcorporate performance
• People concentrated on net-income growth
(example- EastIndia Company).
• New tools – ROA, RONW, etc – but these gave
wrong signals such as asset being to have
ROA.

14. Market ValueAdded
• In terms of market and book values of
shareholder investment, shareholdervalue
creation (SVC)may be defined asthe excessof
market value over book value. SVCis also
referred to asthe market value added(MVA):
Market value added = Market value –
invested
capital (capital
employed)
15. Market-to-Book Value(M/B)
• An alternative measure of
shareholder value creation:
Market value of equity = Market value of
the firm – Market value of debt
• The market-to-book value (M/B) analysis
implies the following:
– Value creation – If M/B >1, the firm is creating
value of shareholders.
– Value maintenance – If M/B =1, the firm is not
creating value of shareholders.
– Value destruction –If M/B < 1, the firm is
destroying value of shareholders.
