Atul and Bipul had a firm in which they had invested ₹50,000. On an average, the profits were ₹16,000. The normal rate of return in the industry is 15%. Goodwill is to be valued at four years’ purchase of profits in excess of profits @ 15% on the money invested. Calculate the value of goodwill.
Normal Profit = ₹50,000 × 15% = ₹7,500.
Super Profit = Actual Profit – Normal Profit = ₹16,000 – ₹7,500 = ₹8,500.
Goodwill = Super Profit × Number of years’ purchase = ₹8,500 × 4 = ₹34,000.
