(a)
Normal Profit = $\displaystyle 10$/$\displaystyle 100$ x $\displaystyle 150,000$ = ₹$\displaystyle 15,000$
Average Profit = ₹$\displaystyle 23,500$
Super Profit = Average Profits – Normal Profit
= $\displaystyle 23,500$ - $\displaystyle 15,000$
= `$\displaystyle 8,500$
Goodwill = Super Profits x Number of years’ purchase
= $\displaystyle 8500$ x $\displaystyle 3$
= ₹ $\displaystyle 25,500$
