Correct Answer: None of these


Solution : Normal Profit = Capital employed X Normal rate of return = Rs.4,00,000 X 12% = Rs.48,000.
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit = Rs.45,000 - Rs.48,000 = (Rs.3,000)
Goodwill = Super Profit X Number of years purchase = (Rs.3,000) X 2 = (Rs.6,000).
Hence, the correct option is 4.
