Gpd corporation has operating income (ebit) of $300,000, total assets of $1,500,000,

$22,500

Explanation:

First step is to calculate the net income which shall be calculated using the following formula:

EBIT                                          $300,00

taxes(300,000*40%)              ($120,000)

Net income                             $180,000

Now we have to calculate the EVA which can be determined using the below mentioned formula:

EVA=Net income- (invested capital*cost of capital)

      =180,000-(1,500,000*10.5%)

      =$22,500
