Solution
| Years | ||||
| Particulars | I | II | III | IV |
| Profits | 30,000 | 40,000 | 50,000 | 45,000 |
| (−) Non-recurring income | 3,000 | - | - | - |
| 27,000 | 40,000 | 50,000 | 45,000 | |
Total profit = 27,000 + 40,000 + 50,000 + 45,000
= ₹ 1,62,000
Average profit = `"Total profit"/"Number of years"`
= `(1,62,000)/4`
= ₹ 40,500
Normal profit = `("Capital employed" xx "Normal rate of return")/100`
= `(3,00,000 xx 10)/100`
= ₹ 30,000
Super profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 40,500 – 30,000
= ₹ 10,500
Capitalisation super profit method = `"Super profit"/"Normal rate of return" xx 100`
= `(10,500)/10 xx 100`
= ₹ 1,05,000
