The net profit after tax of a company for the last five years were Rs.60,000, Rs.65,000, Rs.70,000, Rs.60,000 and Rs.65,000. The capital employed of the business was Rs.600,000 on which 12% rate of return is expected. The valuation of goodwill should be based on three years purchase of the annual super profit. Required: Value of goodwill under super profit method

Answer

Calculation of Goodwill under Super Profit Method

  1. Calculate Average Profit Total profit over 5 years = Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 65,000 + Rs. 70,000 + Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 65,000 = Rs. 320,000 Average profit = Rs. 320,000 / 5 = Rs. 64,000

  2. Calculate Normal Profit (12% of Capital Employed) Normal profit = 12% of Rs. 600,000 = Rs. 72,000

  3. Calculate Super Profit Super profit = Average profit – Normal profit = Rs. 64,000 – Rs. 72,000 = -Rs. 8,000 (Since super profit is negative, goodwill is Rs. 0.)

Final Answer: Rs. 0 (No goodwill arises as super profit is negative.)
