Question 18 Chapter 3 of +2-Part-1
18. (Capitalisation of super profit) The assets of a firm are Rs.26,000 and liabilities other than capital are Rs.6,000. The normal rate of profit in this type of business is 12½% whereas the firm earns a profit of Rs.8,400. Calculate the amount of goodwill on the basis of capitalization of the super profit method.
| Normal Profit | = | Capital Employed | X | Normal Rate of Return |
| 100 | ||||
| = | 20,000 (i.e. 26,000-6,000) | X | 12.5 | |
| 100 | ||||
| = | 2,500 |
| Super Profit | = | Actual Profit - Normal Profit |
| = | 8,400 - 2,500 | |
| = | 5,900 |
| Goodwill | = | Super Profit | X | 100 |
| Normal Rate of Return | ||||
| = | 5,900 | X | 100 | |
| 12.5 | ||||
| = | 47,200 |
