Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 5 years purchase of Super profits, if the normal rate of return is 10%.

Solution :-

Calculation of normal profit
Normal Profit = Capital Employed × Normal Rate of Return
Normal Profit =  Rs 14,00,000 × 10%
= Rs 1,40,000

Calculation  of Super profit
Super Profit = Average Profit − Normal Profit
Super Profit = Rs 1,80,000 – Rs 1,40,000
= Rs 40,000

Calculation of Goodwill
Goodwill = Super Profit × Number of Years’ Purchase
Goodwill = Rs 40,000 × 5
= Rs 2,00,000
