A business has earned average profits of Rs. 2,00,000 during the last few years and the normal rate of return in a similar business is 10%. Ascertain the value of goodwill by capitalisation of average profits method, given that the value of net assets of the business is Rs. 10,20,000.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Capitalised value of business =Average ProfitNormal Rate×100=2,00,00010×100=20,00,000= \frac{\text{Average Profit}}{\text{Normal Rate}} \times 100 = \frac{2,00,000}{10} \times 100 = 20,00,000.

Goodwill == Capitalised value −- Net assets =20,00,000−10,20,000=9,80,000= 20,00,000 - 10,20,000 = 9,80,000.
