Options:

₹1,24,000

₹5,00,000

₹45,00,000

₹3,36,000

Correct Answer:

₹5,00,000

Explanation:

Normal profit = Average capital employed x Normal rate of return/100
                      = 900000 x 20/100
                     = ₹180000
Super profit = Average profit -Normal profit
                    = 280000 -180000
                    = ₹100000
Goodwill as per capitalisation of super profit = Super profit x 100/ Normal rate of return
                                                                      = 100000 X 100/20
                                                                      = ₹500000
