Correct Answer: Rs.15,000


Solution :

Normal Profit = Capital employed X Normal rate of return = Rs.2,50,000 X 10% = Rs.25,000.
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit = Rs.30,000 - Rs.25,000 = Rs.5,000
Goodwill = Super Profit X Number of years purchase = Rs.5,000 X 3 = Rs.15,000.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
