Return on Invested Capital and WACC If the ROIC is greater than the WACC, then value is being created as the firm invests in profitable projects. Conversely, if the ROIC is lower than the WACC, then value is being destroyed as the firm earns a return on its projects that is lower than the cost of funding the projects.
How do you calculate ROIC for WACC?
- WACC = (E/V x Re) + (D/V) x (Rd x (1 – T))
- Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) = Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) / Invested Capital.
