Akash and Mita were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of $\displaystyle 5$ : 3. Their capitals were ₹ $\displaystyle 9{,}00{,}000$ and ₹ $\displaystyle 6{,}00{,}000$ respectively. The normal rate of return was $\displaystyle 15$%. The profits of the last four years were : ( ) $\displaystyle 2021$ - $\displaystyle 22$ $\displaystyle 5{,}50{,}000$ $\displaystyle 2022$ - $\displaystyle 23$ $\displaystyle 5{,}00{,}000$ $\displaystyle 2023$ - $\displaystyle 24$ ($\displaystyle 1{,}50{,}000$) $\displaystyle 2024$ - $\displaystyle 25$ $\displaystyle 6{,}50{,}000$ The closing stock for the year $\displaystyle 2024$ - $\displaystyle 25$ was undervalued by ₹ $\displaystyle 50$,000. Goodwill is to be valued at two years' purchase of last four years' average super profits. Calculate the value of goodwill of the firm.
Marking-scheme solution
Goodwill = Super Profit × Number of years’ purchase
Super Profit = Average Profit − Normal Profit
Corrected Profit of $\displaystyle 2024$-$\displaystyle 25$ after adjustment of undervaluation of closing stock
= $\displaystyle 6{,}50{,}000$ + $\displaystyle 50{,}000$
= ₹$\displaystyle 7{,}00{,}000$
Average Profit = $\displaystyle 5{,}50{,}000$ + $\displaystyle 5{,}00{,}000$ + ($\displaystyle 1{,}50{,}000$) + $\displaystyle 7{,}00{,}000$
$\displaystyle 4$
= $\displaystyle 16{,}00{,}000$
$\displaystyle 4$
= ₹$\displaystyle 4{,}00{,}000$
Capital Employed = $\displaystyle 9{,}00{,}000$ + $\displaystyle 6{,}00{,}000$
= ₹$\displaystyle 15{,}00{,}000$
Normal Profit = Normal Rate of Return x Capital Employed
$\displaystyle 100$
= $\displaystyle 15$/$\displaystyle 100$ × $\displaystyle 15{,}00{,}000$
= ₹$\displaystyle 2{,}25{,}000$
Super Profit = $\displaystyle 4{,}00{,}000$ − $\displaystyle 2{,}25{,}000$
= ₹$\displaystyle 1{,}75{,}000$
Goodwill = $\displaystyle 1{,}75{,}000$ × $\displaystyle 2$
= ₹$\displaystyle 3{,}50{,}000$
