Kirk: RE: < how to calculate EVA! > The foremost authority on calculation and application of EVA (Economic Value Added) is a firm called Stern-Stewart & Company, 40 West 57th Street - 20th Flloor, New York, NY 10019. Their phone number is (212) 261-0600. Fax number is (212) 581-6420. You could ask of Joel M. Stern - Managing Pertner, or, G. Bennett Stewart - CoFounder. Also, during 1990, an article about EVA appeared in the "Financial Executive" magazine by Joel M. Stern. It was entitled "One Way to Build Value in Your Firm, A La Executive Compensation", Good luck in completing your calcuations. P
