Correct Answer: Rs 5,50,000


Solution : Answer = Rs 5,50,000

Goodwill at 4 year; purchase of Super Profit = Rs. 1,00,000

Super Profit = Rs. 1,00,000/4 = Rs. 25,000 Average Profit - Normal Profit = Super Profit

Normal Profit = Average Profit - Super profit = Rs. 80,000 - Rs. 25,000 = Rs. 55,000 Capital

Employed = 100/NRR × Normal Profit

= Rs. 55,000 × 100/10 = Rs. 5,50,000.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
