b)$1,938,000

 

 

c)$2,262,000

 

 

d)$573,000

Expert Solution

Computation of Economic Value Added (EVA):

Economic Value Added (EVA) = NOPAT - (WACC*Capital Invested)

Here,

NOPAT = Earnings after Interest and Taxes*(1-Tax Rate) = $2,550,000*(1-24%) = $1,938,000

WACC = 7.80%

Capital Invested = $17,500,000

 

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $1,938,000 - (7.80%*$17,500,000) = $1,938,000-$1,365,000 = $573,000

So, the correct option is D "$573,000".
