Table of Contents
24. Rakesh and Ashok earned a profit of 5,000. They employed capital of 25,000 in the firm. It is expected that the normal rate of return is 15% of the capital. Calculate amount of goodwill if goodwill is valued at three years’ purchase of super profit.
The solution of Question 24 Chapter 3 of +2-A:
| Super Profit | = | Actual average Profit- Normal Profit |
| Actual average Profit | = | Average Profit + Adjustments (if any) |
| = | 5,000 + 0 | |
| = | 5,000 |
| Normal Profit | = | Capital Employed | X | Normal Rate of Return |
| 100 |
| = | 25,000 | X | 15 | |
| 100 | ||||
| = | 3,750 |
| Super Profit | = | 5,000- 3,750 |
| = | 1,250 |
Number of years’ purchase = 4
| Goodwill | = | Super Profit X number of years of purchase |
| Goodwill | = | 1,250 X 3 |
| Goodwill | = | 3,750 |
