i) Calculation of Goodwill with average Profit
| Number of years’ purchase | = | 3 |
| Goodwill | = | Average Profit X Number of years’ purchase |
| = | 42,000 X 4 | |
| Goodwill | = | 1,68,000 |
ii) Four years purchase of super profit.
| Number of years’ purchase | = | 4 |
| Goodwill | = | Super Profit X Number of years’ purchase |
| = | 12,000 X 4 | |
| Goodwill | = | 48,000 |
iii) On the basis of Capitalisation of Super Profit.
| Goodwill | = | Super Profit | X | 100 |
| Normal Rate of Return | ||||
| = | 12,000 | X | 100 | |

| Number of years | ||
| = | (-18,000) + 30,000+ 25,000 + 55,000 + 65,000+ 95,000 | |
| 6 | ||
| = | 2,52,000 | |
| 6 | ||
| = | 42,000 |
*2 Calculation of Super Profit
| Normal Profit | = | Capital Employed | X | Normal Rate of Return |
| 100 | ||||
| = | 3,00,000 | X | 10 | |
| 100 | ||||
