Correct Answer: By capitalization method Rs 54,000, super profit method Rs 54,000


Solution : Answer = By capitalization method Rs 54,000, super profit method Rs 54,000

(i) Goodwill as per Capitalisation Method :

Capital Employed (Net Assets) = Total Assets - External Liabilities

= Rs.10,00,000- Rs.1,80,000= Rs.8,20,000

Normal Profit = 10% of Rs.8,20,000 = Rs.82,000

Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit

= Rs. 1,00,000- Rs.82,000 = Rs. 18,000

Goodwill = Super Profit × 100/Normal rate of return

= 18,000 × 100/10 = Rs. 1,80,000

(ii) Goodwill as per 3 year’s purchase of super profits :

Goodwill = Super Profit X Number of years purchased

= Rs. 18,000 × 3 = Rs.54,000.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
