If the normal rate of return is 8%, the Goodwill of the firm is valued of 60,000 at four years' purchase of super profit, find the actual profits of the firm.
| Total Assets of the firm | = | Sundry Assets + Stock |
| = | 1,00,000 + 20,000 | |

| Capital Employed | = | Total Assets- Current Liabilities |
| = | 1,20,000 - 10,000 | |
| = | 1,10,000 |
| Normal Profit | = | Capital Employed | X | Normal Rate of Return |
| 100 |
| = | 1,10,000 | X | 8 |
| 100 | |||
| = | 8,800 |
| Super Profit | = | Goodwill |
| Number of years of Purchase |
| = | 60,000 |
| 4 | |
| = | 15,000 |
| Average Actual Profit | = | Super Profit + Normal Profit |
| = | 15,000 + 8,800 | |
