Correct Answer: Rs 23,800


Solution :

Answer = Rs 23,800

60,000/4 = super profit

Super profit = 15,000

Capital employed = total assets – outsider liabilities

1,20,000 - 10,000 = 1,10,000

Normal profit = 1,10,000 X 8/100 = 8,800

Super profit =  average profit – normal profit

15,000= average profit - 8,800

Average profit = 23,800
Hence, the correct option is 1.
