Solution
The Capitalisation of Super Profits Method follows a specific logical sequence:
(B) Calculate the capital of the firm
The starting point is determining the capital employed in the business. This is the base for further calculations.
↓
(C) Calculate normal profits on capital employed
Using the formula: Normal Profit = Capital Employed × (Normal Rate of Return/100)
This gives the expected profit that should be earned on the given capital.
↓
(A) Calculate average profit for the past years, as specified
The actual profits earned by the firm over past years are averaged to determine the maintainable profit level.
↓
(E) Calculate super profits by deducting normal profits from average profits
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit
This represents the excess earning capacity of the firm above normal expectations.
↓
(D) Multiply the super profits with the required rate of return multiplier
Capitalised Value of Super Profit = Super Profit × (100/Normal Rate of Return)
This converts super profits into a capital value, which represents the goodwill of the firm.
The sequence (B), (C), (A), (E), (D) ensures each step builds logically on the previous one - we need capital before calculating normal profit, both normal and average profits before finding super profit, and finally super profit before capitalising it.
