Solution
Profit for 3 years = Rs 1,90,000 + Rs 2,20,000 + Rs 2,50,000
= Rs 6,60,000
`"Avarage Profit"= "Profit for 3 years"/3= " Rs " (6,60,000)/3= " Rs "2,20,000`
Average Profit after partners remuneration = Average Profit − Partners’ Remuneration.
= Rs 2,20,000 − Rs 1,00,000
= Rs 1,20,000
Normal Profit = Capital Employed × Fair Return on the Capital
=`4,00,000xx15/100= "Rs" 60,000`
Super Profit = Average profit after partners’ remuneration − Normal Profit
= Rs 1,20,000 − Rs 60,000 = Rs 60,000
Goodwill = Super Profit × No. of years purchases
= Rs 60,000 × 2 = Rs 1,20,000
(ii) Valuation of Goodwill by Capitalization Method
`"Capitalised Value of the firm" = "Average Profit after patners'Remuneration"/ "Normal Rate of Return"xx100`
Goodwill = Capitalised Value − Capital Employed
= Rs 8,00,000 − Rs 4,00,000
= Rs 4,00,000
