Correct Answer: Rs.72,000


Solution : Net Average Profit = Average Profits + Abnormal loss = Rs.64,000 + Rs.4,000 = Rs.68,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed X Normal Rate of Return = Rs.5,00,000 X 10% = Rs.50,000
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit = Rs.68,000 - Rs.50,000 = Rs.18,000
Goodwill = Super Profit X Number of years' purchase = Rs.18,000 X 4 = Rs.72,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.
