Question 36:

A business has earned average profit of ₹ 8,00,000 during the last few years and the normal rate of return in similar business is 10%. Find value of goodwill by:
(i) Capitalisation of Super Profit Method; and
(ii) Super Profit Method if the goodwill is valued at 3 years' purchase of super profit.
Assets of the business were ₹ 80,00,000 and its external liabilities ₹ 14,40,000.

Answer:

Capital Employed=Total Assets - External Liabilities

=₹(80,00,000-14,40,000)=₹65,60,000

Normal Profits=Capital Employed×Normal Rate of Return/100

=₹65,60,000×10/100=₹6,56,000

Average Profits=₹8,00,000

Super Profits=Average Profits - Normal Profits

=₹(8,00,000 - 6,56,000)=₹1,44,000

 

(i)As per Capitalisation of Super Profit method,Goodwill=Super Profit×100Normal Rate of Return

= ₹ 1,44,000×100/10=₹14,40,000

(ii)As per Super Profit method,Goodwill=Super Profit × No. of years of purchase

= ₹ (1,44,000×3)=₹4,32,000

Question 37:

Rohit and Hardik are partners sharing profits and losses equally. They decided to admít Surya as a partner for 1/3 share. For this purpose, the goodwill of the firm is to be valued. From the following information, calculate the value of goodwill by:

(i) Capitalisation of Average Profit Method.

(ii) Capitalisation of Super Profit Method.

(a) Average Capital Employed

:

₹ 6,00,000

(b) Normal Rate of Return

:

12%

(c) Profit for last three years: 

:

 

2021-22

:

₹ 90,000

2022-23

:

₹ 80,000

2023-24

:

₹ 1,00,000

(d) Assets (Excluding goodwill) :

:

₹ 10,00,000

(e) Liabilities

:

₹ 4,00,000

 

[Ans.: Goodwill under both methods 1,50,000)

Answer:

(i) Capitalisation of Average Profit Method.

 

Profit for last three years: 

 

2021-22

₹ 90,000

2022-23

₹ 80,000

2023-24

₹ 1,00,000

Total Profit =

2,70,000

 

Average Profit = 2,70,000 ÷ 3 = 90,000

Capitalised Value of Firm = 90,000 × 100 ÷ 12

Capitalised Value of Firm =7,50,000

Actual Capital Employed = 10,00,000-4,00,000 = 6,00,000

Googlwill = Capitalised Value of Firm - Actual Capital Employed

Googlwill = 7,50,000 – 6,00,000 = 1,50,000

 

(ii) Capitalisation of Super Profit Method.

 

Actual Capital Employed = 10,00,000-4,00,000 = 6,00,000

Normal Profit = Capital employed × Rate of Return/100

Normal Profit = 6,00,000 × 12/100 = 72,000

Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit

Super Profit = 90,000 – 72,000 = 18,000

Goodwill = 18,000 × 100 ÷ 12 = ₹ 1,50,000

 

Question 38:

 

From the following information, calculate value of goodwill of the firm:
(i) At three years' purchase of Average Profit.
(ii) At three years' purchase of Super Profit.
(iii) On the basis of Capitalisation of Super Profit.
(iv) On the basis of Capitalisation of Average profit.
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, 2025 − ₹ 2,00,000, 31st March, 2024 − ₹ 1,80,000, and 31st March, 2023 − ₹ 1,60,000.
(c) Normal Rate of Return in similar business is 10%.
(d) Remuneration of ₹ 1,00,000 to partners is to be taken as charge against profit.
(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.

Answer:

(i) Goodwill

=Average Profit×No. of years' purchase              

=80,000×3=₹ 2,40,000

(ii) Goodwill

=Super Profit×No. of years' purchase              

=20,000×3=₹ 60,000

(iii) Goodwill

=Super Profit×100÷Normal Rate of Return              

=20,000×100/10=₹ 2,00,000

(iv) Goodwill

=Capitalised Value-Net Assets               

=8,00,000-6,00,000=₹ 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                        

=₹ 1,80,000, 

 

Average Profit (Adjusted) = ₹ 1,80,000 - 1,00,000 (Remuneration to partners)                                          

= ₹ 80,000

Normal Profit=Capital Employed×Normal Rate of Return/100                       

=6,00,000×10/100=₹ 60,000

 

Super Profit=Average Profit (Adjusted)-Normal Profit                    

=80,000-60,000=₹ 20,000

WN2: Calculation of Capital Employed

Capital Employed = Total Assets - Outside Liabilities                              

= 7,00,000-1,00,000

= ₹ 6,00,000
