Question : Capital employed of a firm is Rs.3,00,000. The annual profit earned by the firm during the year is Rs.48,000. The money could be kept in a bank for 5 years at 10% p.a, considering 2% as fair compensation for risk involved in business, the goodwill of the firm on the basis of capitalisation will be:
Option 1: Rs.1,00,000
Option 2: Rs.1,80,000
Option 3: Rs.1,20,000
Option 4: None of these
Correct Answer: Rs.1,00,000
Solution :
Average Profit = Rs.48,000
Capital employed = Rs.3,00,000
Net Rate of return = 10% + 2% = 12%
Normal Profit = Rs.3,00,000 X 12% = Rs.36,000
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit = Rs.48,000 - Rs.36,000 = Rs.12,000
Goodwill = Super Profit X 100/Normal Rate of Raturn = Rs.12,000 X 100/12 = Rs.1,00,000.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
