20. An existing firm had assets of ₹4,00,000 including cash of ₹15,000. The partner’s capital accounts showed a balance of ₹3,00,000 and reserves constituted the rest. If the normal rate of return is 12% and the goodwill of the firm is valued at ₹50,000 at 2.5 year’s purchase of super profits, find the average profits of the firm.
View AnswerAns. Goodwill = Super Profit x Number of year purchases
₹50,000 = Super Profit x 2.5
Super Profit = ₹50,000/2.5
Super Profit = ₹20,000
Capital Employed = Assets
Capital Employed = ₹4,00,000
Normal Profit = Capital Employed x (Normal Rate of Return) /100
Normal Profit = ₹4,00,000 x 12/100
Normal Profit = ₹48,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
₹20,000 = Average Profit – ₹48,000
Average Profit = ₹20,000 + ₹48,000
Average Profit = ₹68,000
