Formula to calculate the Value of Goodwill with Super Profit:
Goodwill | = |
Super Profit X Number of years’ purchase |
Numbers of years’ of Purchase is given So firstly we have to calculate super profit with the help of following formula:
Super Profit | = |
Actual Average Profit – Normal Profit |
To calcuate super profit we have to calculate the Actual Average profit and Normal Profit as following:
Calculation of Average Profit: –
Average Profit | = | Total Profit for past given years |
Number of years | ||
= | 7,000 + 6,500 + 8,000 + 7,500 + 6,000 | |
5 | ||
= | 35,000 | |
5 | ||
Average Profit | = | 7,000 |
Calculation of Normal Profit: –
Normal Profit | = | Capital Employed | X | Normal Rate of Return |
100 | ||||
= | 40,000 | X | 12 | |
100 | ||||
Normal Profit | = | 4,800 |
Calculation of Super Profit:
Super Profit | = | Actual Average Profit – Normal Profit |
= | 7,000 – 4,800 | |
Super Profit | = | 2,200 |
Number of years’ purchase |
= | 3 (Given) |
Calculation of Value of Goodwill with Super Profit:
Goodwill | = | Super Profit X Number of years’ purchase |
= | 2,200 X 3 | |
Goodwill | = | 6,600 |
