a. Super profit method on the basis of three years purchase.
b. Capitalisation method (Both super profit & average profit).
| Actual Profits p.a | = | Rs.5,000 |
| Capital Employed | = | Rs. 25,000 |
| Rate of return | = | 10% |
| Normal Profit | = | Capital Employed | X | Normal Rate of Return |
| 100 | ||||
| = | 25,000 | X | 10 | |
| 100 | ||||
| = | 2,500 |
i) Super Normal Profit Method
| Super Profit | = | Actual Profit - Normal Profit |
| = | 5,000 - 2,500 | |
| = | 2,500 |
| Number of years’ purchase | = | 3 |
| Goodwill | = | Super Profit X Number of years’ purchase |
| = | 2,500 X 3 | |
| = | 7,500 |
ii) Capitalisation Method:
a) Capitalisation of Super Profits Method:
| Goodwill | = | Super Profit | X | 100 |
| Normal Rate of Return | ||||
| = | 2,500 | X | 100 | |
| 10 | ||||
| = | 25,000 |
b) Capitalisation of Average Profits Method:
| Capitalisation of Business | = | Average Profit | X | 100 |
| Normal Rate of Return | ||||
| = | 5,000 | X | 100 | |
| 10 | ||||
| = | 50,000 |
| Goodwill | = | Capitalised value of the business - Average Capital Employed |
