Solution
Average Profit = Rs. 4,00,000
Capital Employed = Total Assets - (Non - Trade Investment) - Outside Liabilities
= Rs. ( 23,00,000 - 1,00,000 - 5,60,000) = Rs. 16,40,000.
Normal Profits = `("Capital Employed" xx "Normal Rate of Return"/100)`
= Rs. `( 16,40,000 xx 10/100 )` = Rs. 164,000.
Super Profits = Average Profits - Normal Profits
= Rs. ( 4,00,000 - 1,64,000) = Rs. 2,36,000
Goodwill = Super Profits x No. of Years of Purchase
= Rs. (2,36,000 x 3) = Rs. 7,08,000.
