Information:
(a) Average Capital Employed is ₹ 6,00,000.
(b) Net Profit/(Loss) of the firm for the last three years ended are:
31st March, 2018 − ₹ 2,00,000, 31st March, 2017 − ₹ 1,80,000, and 31st March, 2016 − ₹ 1,60,000.

(e) Assets of the firm (excluding goodwill, fictitious assets and non-trade investments) is ₹ 7,00,000 whereas Partners' Capital is ₹ 6,00,000 and Outside Liabilities ₹ 1,00,000.
Solution
- Goodwill = Average Profit x No. of Years' Purchase
= 80,000 x 3 = Rs. 2,40,000 - Goodwilll = Super Profit x No. of years' Purchase
= 20,000 x 3 = Rs. 60,000 - Goodwill = Super Profit x `100/"Normal Rate of Return"`
= 20,000 x `100/10` = Rs. 2,00,000 - Goodwill = Capitalised Value - Net Assets
= 8,00,000 - 6,00,000 = Rs. 2,00,000.
Working Notes:
WN1: Calculation of Average and Super Profits
Average Profit = `"Total Profits of past years given"/"No. of Years"`
= `[ 2,00,000 + 1,80,000 +1,60,000]/3` = Rs. 1,80,000
Average Profit (Adjustment) = Rs. 1,80,000 - 1,00,000 (Remuneration to Partners) = Rs. 80,000
Normal Profit = Capital Employed x `"Normal Rate of Return"/100`
= 6,00,000 x `10/100` = Rs. 60,000
Super Profit = Average Profit (Adjusted) - Normal Profit
= 80,000 - 60,000 = Rs. 20,000
WN2: Calculation of Capital Employed
Capital Employed = Total Assets - Outside Liabilities
= 7,00,000 - 1,00,000 = Rs. 6,00,000.
