    Management add $1,235 to shareholder's wealth during 2014

    Explanation:

    EVA = NOPAT - Finance charge

    Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) = Operating Income - Tax

    Operating Income = $11,500 - $5,000

    = $6,500

    Tax = 40% x $6,500

    =$2,600

    NOPAT = $6,500-$2,600

    =$3,900

    Finance charge = (WACC x Capital Invested)

    =13% x $20,500

    =$2,665

    EVA = $3,900 - $2,665

    =$1,235

    Hence, management add $1,235 to shareholder's wealth during 2014
