One can determine this by comparing the cash flow from assets and cost of capital.

1. Cash flow from assets

Cash flow from assets is calculated as Operating Cash flow - Net Capital Spending - Change in NWC.

        1. Operating Cash flow

            Operating Cash flow = Earnings before interest and taxes + depreciation - taxes

        2. Net capital spending 

            Net capital spending is money spent of fixed assets less money received from the sale of fixed assets.
           Net capital spending = Ending net fixed assets - Beginning net fixed assets + Depreciation

           Net working capital is difference between current assets and current liabilities. Change in net working capital is the difference            between net working capital between two years.
