Working Note:

1. Average Profit = Total profit / No. of Years = Rs.66,000 / 4 = 16,500.
2. Calculation of Good Will = Average Profit x No. Of Year of Purchase = 16500 x 2 ½ = Rs. 41,250.
3. B’s Share in Goodwill = 41250 x 4 /15 = Rs. 11,000
4. New Profit Share is calculated as under:
                   Let Total Profit = 1
                   B’ share = 4 / 15th  share
                   Remaining Profit = 1 – 4/15 = 11 / 15
                   W’s Share = 11 / 15 x 3 / 5 = 33 / 75
                   R’s Share = 11 / 15 x 2 / 5 = 22 / 75

New Ratio of W :R :B = 33/75  :  22/75  : 4/15 or 33:22:20
5. Adjustment of Capital
For 4 / 15 share, B Brought Capital  = Rs. 30,000
Therefore Total Capital of the firm = Rs. 30,000 x 15 / 4 = 1,12,500
W’s Capital = 1,12,500 x 33 / 75 = Rs. 49,500
R’s Capital = 1,12,500 x 22 / 75 = Rs. 33,000
B’s Capital = 1,12,500 x 20 / 75 = Rs. 30,000

A business has earned average profits of Rs. 1,00,000 during the last few years and the normal rate of return in similar business is 10%. Find out the value of Goodwill by (i) Capitalisation of super profit method and (ii) Super profit method if the goodwill is valued at 3 years purchase of super profit. The assets of the business were Rs. 10,00,000 and its external liabilities Rs. 1,80,000.


(i) Calculation of good will by capitalisation of super profit method:

* Average profit earned by the firm = Rs 1,00,000 

* Capital employed = Asset – Liabilities

 

= 10,00,000 – 1,80,000= 8,20,000 

* Normal profit = capital employed* normal rate of return

 

= 8,20,000* 10% = 82,000 

* Super Profit = Average profit earned – Normal profit

 

= 1,00,000- 82,000 = 18000 

* Good will = Capitalisation of super profit = Super profit * 100/ Normal rate of return

 

=18000*100/10 =Rs 1,80,000/- 

(ii) Calculation of good will by super profit method:

 

Average profit earned by the firm = 1,00,000
Normal profit earned = capital employed * normal rate of return

Capital employed = asset – liabilities = 8,20,000
Normal profit = 820000* 10/100 =82,000 

Super profit = average profit – normal profit
= 1,00,000 – 82,000 = 18,000 

Goodwill valued at 3 years purchase of super profit = 18000* 3 = Rs 54000/-
