The books of a business showed that the firm's capital employed is Rs. 2,50,000 and the profits for the last five years were: 2021–Rs. 20,000; 2022-Rs. 25,000; 2023-Rs. 27,500; 2024- Rs.35,000 and 2025-Rs. 42,500. What will be the value of Super Profit, when the goodwill valuation is done on the basis of 3 years' purchase of super profits of the business, given that the normal rate of return is 10%.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Total profit =20,000+25,000+27,500+35,000+42,500=1,50,000= 20{,}000 + 25{,}000 + 27{,}500 + 35{,}000 + 42{,}500 = 1{,}50{,}000.

Average Profit =1,50,000/5=30,000= 1{,}50{,}000 / 5 = 30{,}000.

Normal Profit =2,50,000×10%=25,000= 2{,}50{,}000 \times 10\% = 25{,}000.

Super Profit =30,000−25,000=5,000= 30{,}000 - 25{,}000 = 5{,}000. The three years' purchase detail affects goodwill, not super profit.
