,Week 1 - Value creation, FS, and from FS to CFs
1.1.1 - Value creation




NPV > 0 → project creates value
NPV < 0 → project destroys value
NPV = 0 → neither creation/destruction

MVA = Market Value Added = that attempts to measure the true economic profit produced by a
company.
EVA = Economic Value Added = is simply the difference between the current total market value of a
company and the capital contributed by investors (including both shareholders and bondholders). It is
typically used for companies that are larger and publicly-traded.




1.1.2 - Investment in growth (MVA and EVA)
ROIC = EBIT / Invested Capital → ROIC = 20%, IC is 500, then EBIT is 100.
Invested Capital = Operating working capital + net PPE + other assets

ROIC > WACC: investment in growth increases firm value
ROIC < WACC: investment in growth decreases firm value
ROIC = WACC: investment in growth is irrelevant

MVA = difference between MV and Invested Capital
