What is the value of goodwill if calculated on the basis of capitalisation of super profit?

Options:

₹1,81,828

₹1,82,818

₹1,81,838

₹1,81,818

Correct Answer:

₹1,81,818

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- 1,81,818

Normal profit = Average capital employed x (Normal rate of return/100)
                     = 10,00,000*11/100
                     = 1,10,000

Average profit = Profits of year (2016 + 2017 + 2018)/Total no of years
Average profit = (1,60,000+1,40,000+2,70,000)/3
                        = 5,70,000/3
                        = ₹1,90,000

Average profit = 1,90,000- salary of both partners i.e., 60,000
                      = ₹1,30,000

Super profit = Average profit - Normal profit
                    = 1,30,000 - 1,10,000
                    = ₹20,000

Goodwill = Super profit x (100/ normal rate of return)
               = 20,000*100/11
               = ₹1,81,818.18
