Talk:NOPLAT

Q: is nopat equal to noplat?? A: No, it is not. NOPLAT= Net Operating Profit Less Adjusted Tax (i.e. before tax), while NOPAT= Net Operating Profit AFTER tax.

Comment: NOPLAT minus cost of invested capital DOES NOT equal EVA (although quite similar). It is, however, a meassure of economic profit (as the EVA model is). EVA is a trademarked model based on roughly hundred assumtions, of which the exect content is a corporate secret.
