Investor-supplied operating capital is recorded as accounts payable, accruals, and short-term investments. For any given year, one way to compute Galaxy's EVA is as the difference between its NOPAT and the product of its operating capital and its weighted average cost of capital. The percentage change in Galaxy's EVA indicates that management has increased its value Galaxy's net income is growing at a rate greater than its sales.
