Option 1: Rs.23,500
Option 2: Rs.33,500
Option 3: Rs.20,000
Option 4: Rs.24,500
Correct Answer: Rs.33,500
Solution :
Goodwill = Super Profit X Number of years purchase
Rs.54,000 = Super Profit X 4
Super profit = Rs.54,000/4 = Rs. 13,500
Normal Profit = Capital employed X Normal rate of return = Rs.2,00,000 X 10% = Rs.20,000
Average Profit = Super Profit + Normal Profit = Rs.13,500 + Rs.20,000 = Rs.33,500.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
