Question 21:

On 1st April, 2021, an existing firm had assets of ` 75,000 including cash of ` 5,000. Its creditors amounted to ` 5,000 on that date. The firm had a Reserve of ` 10,000 while Partners' Capital Accounts showed a balance of ` 60,000. If Normal Rate of Return is 20% and goodwill of the firm is valued at ` 24,000 at four years' purchase of super profit, find average profit per year of the existing firm.

Answer:

Average profit = total profit of past given years/number of years

Capital Employed = Total Assets - Creditors

= 75,000 -5,000 = ` 70,000

Normal Profit = Capital Employed×Rate of return/100

Normal Profit = 70,000×20/100

Normal Profit = 14,000

Goodwill of the firm = ` 24,000

Number of years’ purchase = 4

Goodwill= Super profit × no. of purchases years’

Or, 24,000 = Super Profit / 4

Super Profit =24,000/ 4

Super Profit = 6,000

Average profit = Normal profit + Super profit

20,000=14,000+6,000

Question 22:

Average profit of a firm during the last few years is `2,00,000 and the normal rate of return in a similar business is 10%. If the goodwill of the firm is `2,50,000 at 4 years' purchase of super profit, find the capital employed by the firm.

Answer:

Goodwill= Super profit × No. of purchases years’

2,50,000=(Average profit–Normal profit)×4 (purchases years’)

2,50,000=(2,00,000–Normal profit)×4

Or 250,000/4-2,00,000=-Normal profit

Or Normal profit =1,37,500

Normal rate of return=10%

Capital employed=normal profit ×100/ normal rate of return

=1,37,500×100/10=13,75,000

Question 23:

Average profit earned by a firm is ` 1,00,000 which includes undervaluation of stock of ` 40,000 on an average basis. The capital invested in the business is ` 6,30,000 and the normal rate of return is 5%. Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 5 times the super profit.

Answer:

Average normal profit= (Average Profit + Undervaluation of stock on average basis*)

Average normal profit = `(1,00,000+40,000)= `1,40,000

Capital Employed in the business= `6,30,000

Normal Profits=Capital Employed×Normal Rate of Return/100

Normal Profits= `6,30,000×5/100= `31,500

Super Profits=Average Normal Profits - Normal Profits

Super Profits= `(1,40,000-31,500)= `1,08,500

Super Profits= `1,08,500

Goodwill=Super Profits×No. of years of purchase= `(1,08,500×5)= `5,42,500

Goodwill= `(1,08,500×5)= `5,42,500

Question 24:

Average profit earned by a firm is ` 7,50,000 which includes overvaluation of stock of ` 30,000 on an average basis. The capital invested in the business is ` 42,00,000 and the normal tare of return is 15%. Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 3 time the super profit.

Answer:

Average Profit earned by a firm = ` 7,50,000
Overvaluation of Stock = ` 30,000
Average Actual Profit = Average Profit earned by a firm – Overvaluation of Stock
or, Average Actual Profit = 7,50,000 – 30,000 = ` 7,20,000

Normal profit = Capital employed×Rate of return/100

Normal profit = 42,00,000×15/100=6,30,000
Super Profit = Actual Average Profit – Normal Profit
or, Super Profit = 7,20,000 – 6,30,000 = ` 90,000
Goodwill = Super Profit × Number of Times
Goodwill = 90,000 × 3 = ` 2,70,000

Question 25:

Ayub and Amit are partners in a firm and they admit Jaspal into partnership w.e.f. 1st April, 2021. They agreed to value goodwill at 3 years' purchase of Super Profit Method for which they decided to average profit of last 5 years. The profits for the last 5 years were:

Year Ended	Net Profit ( `)
31st March, 2017	1,50,000
31st March, 2018	1,80,000
31st March, 2019	1,00,000	(Including abnormal loss of ` 1,00,000)
31st March, 2020	2,60,000	(Including abnormal gain (profit) of ` 40,000)
31st March, 2021	2,40,000

The firm has total assets of ` 20,00,000 and Outside Liabilities of ` 5,00,000 as on that date. Normal Rate of Return in similar business is 10%.
Calculate value of goodwill.

Answer:

Goodwill

=Super Profit×No. of Years' Purchase

=48,000×3= ` 1,44,000
