Average profit earned by a firm is ₹7,50,000, which includes overvaluation of stock of ₹30,000 on an average basis. The capital invested in the business is ₹42,00,000 and the normal rate of return is 15%. Calculate the goodwill of the firm on the basis of 3 times the super profit.
Average Actual Profit = ₹7,50,000 – ₹30,000 (overvaluation of stock deducted) = ₹7,20,000.
Normal Profit = ₹42,00,000 × 15% = ₹6,30,000.
Super Profit = ₹7,20,000 – ₹6,30,000 = ₹90,000.
Goodwill = ₹90,000 × 3 = ₹2,70,000.
