t) EVA<br />

its shareholders, has adopted the EVA based methodology<br />
for performance management and also for capital expenditure<br />
evaluation based on the recommendations of Stern Stewart<br />
& Co.<br />
Economic Value Added (EVA) is defined as the excess of Return<br />
on Invested Capital (ROIC) over weighted average cost of Capital<br />
(WACC); viz<br />
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)<br />
= Net Operating Profit after Taxes but before interest costs<br />
(NOPAT)<br />
Average Invested Capital<br />
Weighted average cost of Capital (post tax)<br />
= Average Adjusted Equity * Cost of Equity (%) + Average debts<br />
(including Prov. for ESS Compensation and deferred tax liability)<br />
*Cost of Debts (%)<br />
Average Adjusted Equity + Average debts<br />
The Cost of Equity is determined under the CAPM method while<br />
the cost of debt is based on the actual cost of borrowings.<br />
The EVA spread was 22.23% as compared to 23.54% in the<br />
previous year. The calculation of EVA spread is as follows:<br />
