Meaning, then the identity

ROIC means the result of the identity on the ROIC calculator. EBIT(1t)EBIT(1-t) is NOPAT. ICIC is invested capital, the operating capital tied up in the firm. On a teaching sheet that is equity plus interest-bearing debt minus surplus cash. The ratio is in percentage points: 15, not 0.15.
