The following steps are followed to ascertain average profit when goodwill is determined on the basis of super profit method. Arrange them in proper sequence.

(A) Ascertain super profit of the firm.

(B) Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of super profit.

(C) Ascertain average profit of the firm.

(D) Find out normal profit of the firm.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Under NCERT's super profit method, the usual sequence is: first ascertain average profit (C), then find normal profit (D), then calculate super profit (A), and finally calculate goodwill (B). Thus, the textbook sequence is C, D, A, B.

So Option 2 matches the normal NCERT method. However, NTA's official answer key for this question marks Option 1, B, A, D, C. Since we are strictly following NTA's official key, Option 1 is retained. This appears to be a discrepancy in the question or answer key.
