Economic Profit Calculations for Finance 3450 homework - Please help!?




Can anyone explain to me how I would calculate the Total Operating Capital, After-tax Cost of Operating Capital, and the Dollar Cost of Capital for a firm based on financial data available on Yahoo! Finance or MSN Money?



OR where I could find these numbers online.



I am reasonably sure the After-tax Cost of Operating Capital is a percentage, and the Dollar Cost of Capital is a product of the other two figures, I am just unsure of how to calculate these numbers. The companies I am using are Lowe's and Home Depot and I pulled the financial sheets for the firms from MSN Money.



If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!
