Ques 8 A firm earned average profit of ` 3,00,000 during the last few years. The normal rate of return of the industry is 15%. The assets of the business were ` 17,00,000 and its liabilities were ` 2,00,000. Calculate the goodwill of the firm by capitalisation of average profits.
Solution Actual profits = Rs.3,00,000
Net Tangible Assets = Assets – Liabilities
= Rs.17,00,000 – Rs.2,00,000
= Rs.15,00,000
Capitalised value of the firm= (Average Profits x 100)/ Normal rate of return
= (Rs.3,00,000 x 100)/15
= Rs.20,00,000
Goodwill= Capitalised value of the firm – Net Tangible Assets
= Rs.20,00,000 - Rs.15,00,000
= Rs.5,00,000
