Question

Average profit earned by a firm is ₹ 7,50,000 which includes overvaluation of stock of ₹ 30,000 on an average basis. The capital invested in the business is ₹ 42,00,000 and the normal tare of return is 15%. Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 3 time the super profit.

Answer 1

Average Profit earned by a firm = Rs 7,50,000
Overvaluation of Stock = Rs 30,000
Average Actual Profit = Average Profit earned by a firm – Overvaluation of Stock
or, Average Actual Profit = 7,50,000 – 30,000 = Rs 7,20,000

Normal Profit = Capital Investment x `"Normal Rate of Return"/100`
or, Normal Profit = 42,00,000 x `15/100` = Rs. 6,30,000.

Super Profit = Actual Average Profit – Normal Profit
or, Super Profit = 7,20,000 – 6,30,000 = Rs 90,000
Goodwill = Super Profit × Number of Times
Goodwill = 90,000 × 3 = Rs 2,70,000
