Calculate the value of goodwill.
Solution
Average Profit = Rs. 4,00,000
Capital Employed = Total Assets - (Non - Trade Investment) - Outside Liabilities
= Rs. ( 19,50,000 - 50,000 - 4,00,000) = Rs. 15,00,000.
Normal Profits = `("Capital Employed" xx "Normal Rate of Return"/100)`
= Rs. `( 15,00,000 xx 15/100 )` = Rs. 2,25,000.
Super Profits = Average Profits - Normal Profits
= Rs. ( 4,00,000 - 2,25,000) = Rs. 1,75,000
Goodwill = Super Profits x No. of Years of Purchase
= Rs. ( 1,75,000 x 4 ) = Rs. 7,00,000.
