Correct Answer: Rs.2,00,000


Solution : Net Assets = Total assets - Outside Liabilities = Rs.22,00,000 - Rs.2,00,000 = Rs.20,00,000.
Capitalised Value = Average profit X 100/Normal rate of return = Rs.2,20,000 X 100/10 = Rs.22,00,000.
Goodwill = Capitalised Value - Net Assets = Rs.22,00,000 - Rs.20,00,000 = Rs.2,00,000.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
