You are an industry analyst for the telecom sector. You are analyzing financial reports from two companies: tt & t Inc. and Phonez Corp. corporate tax for both firms is 35%. Your associate analyst has calculated and compiled, in the following table, a list of important figures you need for the analysis: TT &T Inc. Phonz Crop.
EBIT $175,000 $124,600
Depreciation $70,000 $49,840
Total operating capital $1,029,000 $802,900
Net investment in operating capital $490,000 $259,000
WACC 8.84% 11.50%

In your analysis, you want to look for several characteristics-one of them being the return on invested capital (ROIC). Using the information available, complete the following statements:

TT&T inc. has a free cash flow than Phonez Corp. does. The net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) for tt&t inc. is, whereas the NOPAT for Phonez Corp. is. TT&T inc. has a return on invested capital of, whereas, Phonez Corp. has a return on invested capital of

Your inference from the analysis is that both firms are in a high-growth phase, and their growth will be profitable. Considering your analysis, which of the following statements is true?

a. If ROIC is less than the rate of return that investors require, which is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), then the firm is adding value.
b. If ROIC is greater than the rate of return that investors require, which is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), then the firm is adding value.
