The books of a business showed that the firm's capital employed on December 31, 2025 was Rs. 7,00,000 and the profits for the last five years were: 2021-Rs. 80,000; 2022-Rs. 85,000; 2023-Rs. 75,000; 2024- Rs. 80,000; 2025-Rs. 75,000. What will be the value of goodwill based on 3 years' purchase of the super profits of the business, given that the normal rate of return is 10%?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Total profits =80,000+85,000+75,000+80,000+75,000=3,95,000=80{,}000+85{,}000+75{,}000+80{,}000+75{,}000=3{,}95{,}000; average =79,000=79{,}000.

Normal profit =7,00,000×10%=70,000=7{,}00{,}000\times 10\%=70{,}000.

Super profit =79,000−70,000=9,000=79{,}000-70{,}000=9{,}000.

Goodwill =9,000×3=27,000=9{,}000\times 3=27{,}000.
