ii. ₹1,50,000
iii. ₹2,00,000 (including a loss by theft of ₹32,000).

Options:

 ₹12,00,000

 ₹17,280

 ₹1,44,000

 ₹11,00,000

Correct Answer:

 ₹12,00,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1-  ₹12,00,000.

Average profit = [(80,000 - 30,000) + 1,50,000 + ( 2,00,000 + 32,000)/]3
                     = (50,000 + 1,50,000 +2,32,000)/3
                     = 4,32,000/3
                     =  ₹1,44,000

Capitalised Value of business = Average profit x 100 / Normal rate of return
                                          = 1,44,000 x 100/12
                                          = 12,00,000
