Norah and Mallika were partners in a firm with a combined capital of ₹ $\displaystyle 2,00$,000. The normal rate of return was $\displaystyle 10$%. The profits of the last four years were as follows : < $\displaystyle 2019$ $\displaystyle 20$ $\displaystyle 20,000$ $\displaystyle 2020$ $\displaystyle 21$ $\displaystyle 30,000$ $\displaystyle 2021$ $\displaystyle 22$ $\displaystyle 27,000$ $\displaystyle 2022$ $\displaystyle 23$ $\displaystyle 35,000$ The closing stock for the year $\displaystyle 2022$ $\displaystyle 23$ was undervalued by ₹ $\displaystyle 4$,000. Calculate goodwill of the firm based on two years' purchase of the last four years' average super profit.
Marking-scheme solution
Calculation of Normal Adjusted Profit
Year Profit (₹) Adjustment (₹) Adjusted Profit (₹)
$\displaystyle 2019$-$\displaystyle 20$ $\displaystyle 20,000$ - $\displaystyle 20,000$
$\displaystyle 2020$-$\displaystyle 21$ $\displaystyle 30,000$ - $\displaystyle 30,000$
$\displaystyle 2021$-$\displaystyle 22$ $\displaystyle 27,000$ - $\displaystyle 27,000$
$\displaystyle 2022$-$\displaystyle 23$ $\displaystyle 35,000$ $\displaystyle 4,000$ $\displaystyle 39,000$
TOTAL $\displaystyle 1,16,000$
Average Profit= (Total Adjusted Profit)/ No. of years
= $\displaystyle 1,16,000$/$\displaystyle 4$
= ₹$\displaystyle 29,000$
Normal Profit= Capital Employed x Normal Rate of Return
$\displaystyle 100$
= $\displaystyle 2,00,000$ x $\displaystyle 10$ = ₹$\displaystyle 20,000$
$\displaystyle 100$
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= $\displaystyle 29,000$ - $\displaystyle 20,000$
= ₹$\displaystyle 9,000$
Goodwill= Super Profit x No. of years’ purchase
= $\displaystyle 9,000$ x $\displaystyle 2$
= ₹$\displaystyle 18,000$
