37 :- Rohit and Hardik are partners sharing profits and losses equally. They decided to admit Surya as a partner for 1/3 share. For this purpose, the goodwill of the firm is to be valued. From the following information calculate the value of goodwill by :

  • Capitalisation of Average profit method.
  • Capitalisation of Super Profit Method.
    (a) Average Capital Employed                                  : Rs 6,00,000
    (b) Normal Rate of Return                                         :              12%
    (c) Profit for last three years    2021-22                    :     Rs 90,000
                                                2022-23                    :     Rs 80,000
                                                2023-24                    :  Rs 1,00,000
    (d) Assets (Excluding goodwill)                               : Rs 10,00,000
    (e) Liabilties                                                              :    Rs 4,00,000

Solution :-

CASE 1 :-

Average profit of last three years = 90,000 + 80,000 + 1,00,000/3
= 2,70,000/3 = Rs 90,000

Capitalised value of average profit = Average profit/ Normal rate of return
= 90,000 x 100/12
= Rs 7,50,000

Goodwill = Capitalised value of average profit – Capital employed
= 7,50,000 – 6,00,000
= Rs 1,50,000

CASE 2 :-
Average profit of last three years = 90,000 + 80,000 + 1,00,000/3
= 2,70,000/3 = Rs 90,000

Normal profit = Capital employed x normal rate of return
= 6,00,000 x 12% = Rs 72,000

Super profit = Average profit – Normal profit
= 90,000 – 72,000
= Rs 18,000

Goodwill of the firm = Super profit/ Normal rate of return
= 18,000 x 100/12
= Rs 1,50,000
