Answer:

c. $1,000,000

Explanation:

The computation of the economic value added is shown below:

Economic value added = Operating income - total invested capital × WACC

                                      = $3,000,000 - $20,000,000 × 10%

                                      = $3,000,000 - $2,000,000

                                      = $1,000,000

We simply deduct the total invested capital by multiplying the cost of capital from the operating income
