Pran and Ron were partners in a firm with a combined capital of ₹ $\displaystyle 3,00$,000. The normal rate of return was $\displaystyle 15$%. The profits of the last four years were as follows : < $\displaystyle 2019$ $\displaystyle 20$ $\displaystyle 50,000$ $\displaystyle 2020$ $\displaystyle 21$ $\displaystyle 90,000$ $\displaystyle 2021$ $\displaystyle 22$ $\displaystyle 80,000$ $\displaystyle 2022$ $\displaystyle 23$ $\displaystyle 70,000$ The closing stock for the year $\displaystyle 2022$ $\displaystyle 23$ was undervalued by ₹ $\displaystyle 10$,000. Calculate goodwill of the firm based on capitalisation of super profit.
Marking-scheme solution
Calculation of Normal Adjusted Profit
Year Profit (₹) Adjustment (₹) Adjusted Profit
(₹)
$\displaystyle 2019$-$\displaystyle 20$ $\displaystyle 50,000$ - $\displaystyle 50,000$
$\displaystyle 2020$-$\displaystyle 21$ $\displaystyle 90,000$ - $\displaystyle 90,000$
$\displaystyle 2021$-$\displaystyle 22$ $\displaystyle 80,000$ - $\displaystyle 80,000$
$\displaystyle 2022$-$\displaystyle 23$ $\displaystyle 70,000$ $\displaystyle 10,000$ $\displaystyle 80,000$
TOTAL $\displaystyle 3,00,000$
Average Profit= (Total Adjusted Profit)/ No. of years
= $\displaystyle 3,00,000$/$\displaystyle 4$ = ₹$\displaystyle 75,000$
Normal Profit= Capital Employed x Normal Rate of Return
$\displaystyle 100$
= $\displaystyle 3,00,000$ x $\displaystyle 15$ = ₹$\displaystyle 45,000$
$\displaystyle 100$
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= $\displaystyle 75,000$ - $\displaystyle 45,000$ = ₹$\displaystyle 30,000$
Goodwill= Super Profit x $\displaystyle 100$
Normal Rate of Return
= $\displaystyle 30,000$ x $\displaystyle 100$
$\displaystyle 15$
= ₹$\displaystyle 2,00,000$
