Q1 FREE PREVIEW

If Average Capital Employed in a firm is ₹9,00,000, Average Profits ₹2,80,000, and Normal rate of return is 20%, then the value of goodwill as per capitalisation of super profits is :

a

₹ 1,24,000

b

₹ 5,00,000

c

₹ 45,00,000

d

₹ 3,36,000

✓ Correct answer: b)

₹ 5,00,000

Explanation

Option B

Normal Profit = Capital Employed x Normal Rate of Return

\(=9,00,000\times \frac{20}{100}\\ =₹1,80,000\)

Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit

\(=2,80,000-1,80,000\\ =₹1,00,000\)

Goodwill = \(\frac{\mathrm{Super}\mathrm{Profit}}{\mathrm{Normal}\mathrm{Rate}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Return}}\)

\(=\frac{1,00,000}{20}\times 100\\ =₹5,00,000\)
