Is Residual Income the same thing as Economic Profit?
I’ve always thought Econ Profit as EVA but in Schweser book 3 page 274 the first sentence it says:
“Residual Income (RI), or economic profit, is the net income of a firm less a chrrge that measurs stockholders’ opportuity cost of capital. ”
and… no other reference about economic profit. (I dont have the CFAI book with me atm but will check on it when I do have it).作者: Analti_Calte 时间: 2013-3-31 12:54
They are different.
Economic Profit=NOPAT-$WACC
The $ WACC=(WACC)(Capital)
The RI is RI=NI-Equity Charge
The equity charge=(rce)(capital)作者: HuskyGrad2010 时间: 2013-3-31 12:54
It depends on how the WACC is calculated, if the cost of debt used to calculate WACC is the same as the rate that will provide the interest expense on the income statement EVA and RI should be equal. But since that isn’t always the case, don’t assume they will be the same for the test.作者: dmrktrading 时间: 2013-3-31 12:54

Dude, what are you talking about? WACC and required return on equity are calculated differently.作者: strikethree 时间: 2013-3-31 12:54
RI = NI - (BV of equity * Re)
EVA = EBIT(1-t) - $WACC
(EBIT)(1-t) - Interest(1-t) = NI
$WACC = (cost of debt * total debt)(1-t) + (Re * BV of equity)
Therefore, if (Cost of debt * Total Debt)(1-t) = Interest Expense(1-t) then
RI = (EBIT(1-t) - Interest Expense(1-t)) - (Re * BV of equity) and
EVA = EBIT(1-t) - (Interest Expense(1-t) + (Re * BV of equity))
And
(EBIT(1-t) - Interest Expense(1-t)) - (Re * BV of equity) = EBIT(1-t) - (Interest Expense(1-t) + (Re * BV of equity))
For example if EBIT(1-t)=5, Interest Expense(1-t)=2, and (Re * BV of equity)=1
(5 - 2) - 1 = 2 and
5 - (2 + 1) = 2
Therefore, if (Cost of debt * Total Debt)(1-t) = Interest Expense(1-t) then
EVA = RI
