Rishi and Suman were partners in a firm. Their capitals were : Rishi ₹ $\displaystyle 1,20,000$ and Suman ₹ $\displaystyle 80$,000. The normal rate of return in similar business is $\displaystyle 12$%. The profits of the last four years were : Year < $\displaystyle 2019$ $\displaystyle 20$ $\displaystyle 33,000$ $\displaystyle 2020$ $\displaystyle 21$ $\displaystyle 22,000$ $\displaystyle 2021$ $\displaystyle 22$ $\displaystyle 31,000$ $\displaystyle 2022$ $\displaystyle 23$ $\displaystyle 34,000$ Calculate goodwill of the firm based on : (i) Three years purchase of the last four years average profits. (ii) Capitalisation of super profit.
Marking-scheme solution
Average Profit = $\displaystyle 33,000$+$\displaystyle 22,000$+$\displaystyle 31,000$+$\displaystyle 34,000$
$\displaystyle 4$
`$\displaystyle 30,000$
=
Normal Profit = Normal Rate of Return x Capital Employed
$\displaystyle 100$
Normal Profit = $\displaystyle 12$ x $\displaystyle 2,00,000$
$\displaystyle 100$
=
`$\displaystyle 24,000$
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= $\displaystyle 30,000$ – $\displaystyle 24,000$
= `$\displaystyle 6,000$
(i)
Goodwill of the firm = Average Profit x Number of Years’ Purchase
= $\displaystyle 30,000$ x $\displaystyle 3$
= `$\displaystyle 90,000$
(ii)
Goodwill of the firm = Super Profit x $\displaystyle 100$
Normal rate of return
= $\displaystyle 6,000$ x $\displaystyle 100$
$\displaystyle 12$
= `$\displaystyle 50,000$
