Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Paying for goodwill a sum equal to the profits expected over the next few years describes the average profit method (IV). Valuing goodwill on excess rather than actual profits is the super profit method (III). Average profit multiplied by gives the capitalised value of the business (I), and that value less net assets is goodwill (II).
