The goodwill based on capitalization of average profit method is valued at Rs 1,80,000. If Net Assets are Rs 8,20,000 then find the capitalized value of average profits.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Under the Capitalization of Average Profit Method, goodwill is calculated using the relationship:

Goodwill = Capitalized Value of Average Profits - Net Assets

Given:

  • Goodwill = Rs 1,80,000
  • Net Assets = Rs 8,20,000

Substituting in the formula:

Rs 1,80,000 = Capitalized Value of Average Profits - Rs 8,20,000

Capitalized Value of Average Profits = Rs 1,80,000 + Rs 8,20,000

Capitalized Value of Average Profits = Rs 10,00,000


The logic is simple: The capitalized value represents the total value of the business based on its earning capacity. When we subtract what the business actually owns (Net Assets), the difference represents the value of intangible benefits, which is Goodwill.
