Answer»

SOLUTION :Goodwill = Super Profit `XX` No. of Years' Purchase
Rs 60,000= Super Profit `xx` 4
Super Profit = Rs 60,000/4 = Rs 15,000
NORMAL Profit = Capital Employed (Note) `xx` Normal RATE of Return/100
= Rs 1,10,000 `xx` 8/100= Rs 8,800
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit.
Rs 15,000= Average Profit - Rs 8,800
Average Profit = Rs 15,000 + Rs 8,800 = Rs 23,800.
Note: Capital Employed = Total ASSETS (Including stock) - Current Liabilities
= Rs 1,20,000- Rs 10,000 = Rs 1,10,000.
Capital Employed = Capital + Reserve = Rs 60,000 + Rs 50,000 = Rs 1,10,000.
