The Goodwill of a firm is Rs 30,000, when it is valued at three years' purchase of the super profits of the business. Find the normal rate of return, if the firm's capital employed is Rs 5,00,000 and average profits of last five years were Rs 60,000.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Goodwill == Super Profit ×\times number of years' purchase, so Super Profit =30,0003=10,000= \frac{30,000}{3} = 10,000.

Super Profit == Average Profit −- Normal Profit, giving Normal Profit =60,000−10,000=50,000= 60,000 - 10,000 = 50,000.

Normal Rate of Return =50,0005,00,000×100=10%= \frac{50,000}{5,00,000} \times 100 = 10\%.
