Correct Answer: Rs.30,000


Solution : Capitalised value of the firm = Average Profit X 100/Rate of return = Rs.8,000 X 100/10 = Rs.80,000
Net Assets (excluding fictitious assets) - Outside Liabilities = Rs.80,000 (Rs.85,000 - Rs.5,000) - Rs.30,000 = Rs.50,000
Goodwill = Capitalised value - Net assets = Rs.80,000 - Rs.50,000 = Rs.30,000
Hence, the correct option is 2.
