The average profit of a firm during the last few years is ₹2,00,000 and the normal rate of return in a similar business is 10%. If the goodwill of the firm is ₹2,50,000 at 4 years’ purchase of super profit, find the capital employed by the firm.
Super Profit = Goodwill / Number of years’ purchase = ₹2,50,000 / 4 = ₹62,500.
Normal Profit = Average Profit – Super Profit = ₹2,00,000 – ₹62,500 = ₹1,37,500.
Capital Employed = Normal Profit × 100 / Normal Rate of Return = ₹1,37,500 × 100 / 10 = ₹13,75,000.
