Q10. The capital of the firm of Anuj and Benu is 10,00,000 and the market rate of interest is 15%. Annual Salary to the partners is 60,000 each. The profit for the last three years were 3,00,000 3,60,000 and 4,20,000. Goodwill of the firm is to be valued on the basis of two years purchase of last three years average super profit. Calculate the goodwill of the firm.
Solution – Salary of both Partners of three year
60,000 x 2 x 3 years = 3,60,000
Average Profit after Salary
= 3, 00,000 + 3, 60,000 + 4, 20,000 – (3, 60,000) / 3
= 7,20,000 / 3
= 2,40,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 10, 00,000 X 15%
= 1, 50,000
Super profit= average profit -normal profit
=240,000-150,000
=90,000
Goodwill = Super Profit x number of year of Purchase
= 90,000 x 2
= 1,80,000
Q11. Atul and Bipul had a firm in which they had invested 50,000. On an average, the profits were 16,000. The normal rate of return in the industry is 15%. Goodwill is to be valued at four years purchase of profits in excess of profits @ 15% on the money invested. Calculate the value of goodwill.
Solution – Average Profit = 16,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x Normal Rate of Return
= 50,000 X 15%
= 7,500
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 16,000 – 7,500
= 8,500
Goodwill = Super Profit x 4 year of Purchase
= 8,500 x 4
= 34,000
Q12. Sakshi and Megha were partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:1. Capital employed as on 31st March, 2026 was Rs.14,00,000. Profit earned on an average is Rs.1,80,000. Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 5 years purchase of Super Profits, if the normal rate of return is 10%.
Solution-
Calculation of Goodwill of the firm
Normal profit = Capital employed x normal rate of return
= 1400000 x 10%
= 1,40,000
Average profit (given) = Rs.1,80,000
Super profit = Average profit – Normal profit
= 1,80,000 – 1,40,000
= 40,000
Goodwill = Super profit x 5 years purchase
= 40,000 x 5
= Rs.2,00,000
Q13. A and B were partners in a firm sharing equally. Their capitals were: A- ₹ 1,20,000 and B- ₹ 80,000.

On C’s admission the goodwill of the firm was valued at 2 years’ purchase of the super profits.
Calculate the value of goodwill of the firm on C’ admission.
Solution
Calculation of Normal profit of the Firm
Capital Employed = capitals of A & B
= 120000 + 80000
= 2,00,000
Normal Profit = Capital Employed x Normal Rate of Return
= 2,00,000 x 20%
= Rs.40,000
Calculation of Average Profit of the firm
Average profit of lost 3 years = 34000 + 38000 + 30000 / 3
= 102000 / 3
= Rs.34,000
Calculation of Super Profit of the Firm
Super Profit = Average profit – Normal Profit
= 34000 – 40000
= – 6000
Since the firm has negative super profit. The Firm does not have goodwill.
Q14. Average net profit expected in future by XYZ firm is 36,000 per year. Average capital employed in the business by the firm is 2,00,000. The normal rate of return from capital invested in this class of business is 10%. Remuneration of the partners is estimated to be 6,000 p.a. Calculate the value of goodwill on the basis of two years purchase of super profit.
Solution – Average Profit = 36,000 – 6,000 = 30,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 2, 00,000 X 10%
= 20,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 30,000 – 20,000
= 10,000
Goodwill = Super Profit x year of Purchase
= 10,000 x 2
= 20,000
Q15. A partnership firm earned net profits during the last three years ended 31st March, as follows:
2024 – 17,000; 2025 – 20,000; 2026 – 23,000

Calculate value of goodwill on the basis of two years purchase of average super profit earned during the above-mentioned three years.
Solution –
Calculation of Average profit of the firm
Average Profit = 17,000 + 20,000 + 23,000 / 3
= 60,000 / 3
= 20,000
Calculation of Normal profit of the firm
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 80,000 X 15%
= 12,000
Calculation of Super profit of the Firm
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 20,000 – 12,000
= 8,000
Calculation of Goodwill of the firm
Goodwill = Super Profit x year of Purchase
= 8,000 x 2
= 16,000
Q.16 Amit and Kartik are partners sharing profits and losses equally. They decided to admit Saurabh for an equal share in the profits. For this purpose, the goodwill of the firm was to be valued at four years’ purchases of super profits.
The Balance sheet of the firm on Saurabh’s admission was as follows:
The normal rate of return is 12% p.a. Average profit of the firm for the last four years was Rs.30,000. Calculate Saurabh’s share of goodwill.
Solution-
Calculation of Goodwill of the Firm
Capital employed = Amit capital + Kartik Capital + General Reserve
= 90,000 + 50,000 + 20,000
= 1,60,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x Normal rate of Return
= 160000 x 12%
= 19,200
Super profit = Average profit – Normal Profit
= 30,000 – 19,200
= 10,800
Goodwill of the firm = Super profit x 4 year purchase
= 10,800 x 4
= 43,200
Saurabh share in Goodwill
= 43,200 x 1/3 = Rs.14,400
Calculation of average profit ,normal rate of return and capital employed
Q17. On 1st April, 2026, 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.
Solution –
Calculation of capital employed of the firm
Capital employed (Assets side approach) = (Assets – Creditor)
= (75,000 – 5,000)
= 70,000
Or
Capital employed (Liabilities side approach) = Capital + Reserve
= 60,000 + 10,000
= 70,000
Calculation of Normal Profit of the Firm
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 70,000 X 20%
= 14,000
Calculation of Average Profit of the Firm
Goodwill = Super Profit x No Of year Purchase
Goodwill = (Average Profit – Normal Profit) X no of year purchase
24,000 = (Average Profit – 14,000) x 4
Average Profit – 14,000 = 24,000/4
Average Profit – 14,000 = 6,000
Average Profit = 6,000 + 14,000
Average Profit = 20,000
Q18. On 1st April, 2023 a partnership firm assets of Rs.2,00,000 including cash of Rs.6,000 and bank balance of Rs.14,000. The partners accounts showed a balance of Rs.1,90,000 and reserve constituted the rest. If the normal rate of return is 10% and the goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs.60,000 at 4 year4 purchases of super profits, find the average profits of the firm.
Solution-
Calculation of Average profit of the firm
Goodwill = Super profit x 4 years of purchase
Goodwill = (Average profit – Normal profit) x 4
Rs.60,000 = (Average profit – Rs.20,000) x 4
Average profit – Rs.20,000 = 60,000 / 4
Average profit = Rs.15,000 + Rs.20,000
= Rs.35,000
Calculation of Normal profit of the firm
Capital Employed = assets – autside liabilities
= Rs.2,00,000 – Rs.0
= Rs.2,00,000
Normal profit = Capital employed x normal rate of return
= 2,00,000 x 10% = Rs.20,000
Q19. 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.
Solution –
Calculation of Normal Profit of the firm
Goodwill = Super Profit x No Of year Purchase
Goodwill = (Average Profit – Normal Profit) X no of year purchase
2, 25,000 = (2, 00,000 – Normal Profit) x 4
2, 50,000/4 = 2, 00,000 – Normal Profit
62,500 = 2, 00,000 – Normal Profit
Normal Profit = 2, 00,000 – 6, 25,000
Normal Profit = 1, 37,500
Calculation of Normal Profit of the Firm
Normal Profit = Capital employed x No of Year
1, 37,500 = Capital Employed x 10%
Capital Employed = 1, 37,500 x 100 / 10
= 13, 75,000
Q20. A business earned an average profit of ₹ 1,80,000 during the last few years. Average capital employed by the firm is ₹ 12,50,000. If goodwill of the firm is valued at ₹ 1,60,000 at 2 years’ purchase of super profit, find normal rate of return.
Solution –
Calculation of Normal Profit of the Firm
Goodwill = Super profit x 2 year Purchase
16,000 = Super Profit x 2
Super profit = 160000/2 = ₹ 80000
Super profit = Average profit – Normal profit
80000 = 180000 – Normal profit
Normal profit = ₹ 100000
Normal profit = Capital Employed x Normal rate of return
Normal rate of return = Normal profit / capital employed
= 10,000 / 1,25,000 x 100
= 8 %
Q21. A business has earned profit of ₹ 1,20,000 during the last four years and the normal rate of return in similar business is 15%. If goodwill of the firm is valued at ₹ 1,35,000 at 3 years’ purchase of average super profit, find the capital employed of the firm.
Solution –
Calculation of Normal Profit of the Firm
Goodwill of the Firm = Super profit x year’s of purchase
Goodwill of the Firm = (Average Profit – Normal Profit) x Year’s of Purchase
Rs.135000 = (120000 – Normal profit) x 3
Normal profit = 120000 – 135000 / 3
= 120000 – 45000
= 75,000
Calculation of Capital Employed of the firm
Normal Profit = Capital Employed x Normal Rate of Retturn
Rs.75,000 = Capital Employed x 15%
Capital Employed = 75000 x 100 / 15
= Rs.5,00,000
Super Profit Method When Past Adjustments are Made:-
Q22. 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.
Solution –
Actual Average Profit = 1, 00,000 + 40,000 = 1, 40,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 6,30,000 X 5%
= 31,500
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 1, 40,000 – 31,500
= 1,08,500
Goodwill = Super Profit x year of Purchase
= 1, 08,500 x 5
= 5, 42,500
Q23. 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 rate of return is 15%. Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 3 times the super profit.
Solution –
Average Profit = 7, 50,000 – 30,000 = 7,20,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 42,00,000 X 15%
= 63,0000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 7, 20,000 – 6, 30,000
= 90,000
Goodwill = Super Profit x year of Purchase
= 90,000 x 3
= 2,70,000
Q24. Akshay and Amit are partners in a firm and they admit Jaspal into partnership 1st April, 2024. 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, 2022 1, 50,000
31st March, 2023 1, 80,000
31st March, 2024 1, 00,000 (including abnormal loss of 1, 00,000)

31st March, 2026 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.
Solution – Profit 2022 = 1, 50,000
2023 = 1, 80,000
2024 = 1, 00,000 + 1, 00,000 = 2, 00,000
2025 = 2, 60,000 – 40,000 = 2, 20,000
2026 = 2, 40,000
Average profit = 1,50,000 + 1,80,000 + 2,00,000 + 2,20,000 + 2,40,000 / 5
= 9,90,000 / 5
= 1,98,000
Capital Employed = Total Assets – Outside Liabilities
= 20, 00,000 – 5, 00,000
= 15,00,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 15, 00,000 X 10%
= 1,50,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 1, 98,000 – 1, 50,000
= 48,000
Goodwill = Super Profit x year of Purchase
= 48,000 x 3
= 1,44,000
Capitalisation Method:-
Q25. From the following information, calculate value of goodwill of the firm by applying Capitalisation Method:
Total capital of the firm 16,00,000
Normal rate of return 10%
Profit for the year 2,00,000
Solution –
Capitalisation Value of the firm = Average / normal rate of returns x 100
= 2,00,000 / 10 x 100
= 20,00,000
Goodwill = Capitalisation Value of Firm – Capital employed (net assets)
= 20, 00,000 – 16, 00,000
= 4,00,000
Q26. A firm earned average profit of 3,00,000 during the last few years. The normal rate of return of the industry is 15%. The assets of the business were 17,00,000 and its liabilities were 2,00,000.
Calculate the goodwill of the firm by Capitalisation of average profit.
Solution –
Capitalised Value for Firm = Average / Normal rate of returns x 100
= 3,00,000 / 15 x 100
= 20, 00,000
Capital employed = Assets – Liabilities
= 17, 00,000 – 2, 00,000
= 15, 00,000
Goodwill = Capitalised value of firm – Capital employed
= 20, 00,000 – 15, 00,000
= 5, 00,000
Q27. A & B were partners in a firm with capitals of 3, 00,000 and 2,00,000 respectively. The normal rate of return was 20% and the capitalised value of average profits was 7,50,000. Calculate goodwill of the firm by capitalisation of average profits method.
Solution –
Capitalised Value of firm = 7,50,000
Capital employed = 3,00,000 + 2,00,000
= 5,00,000
Goodwill = Capitalised Value – Capital employed
= 7,50,000 – 5,00,000
= 2,50,000
Q28. Puneet and Tarun are in restaurant business having credit balance in their fixed Capital Accounts as 2,50,000 each. They have credit balances in their Current Accounts of 30,000 and 20,000 respectively. The firm does not have any liability. They are regularly earning profits and their average profit of last 5 years is 1, 00,000. If the normal rate of return is 10%, find the value of goodwill by Capitalisation of Average Profit Method.
Solution –
Capitalised Value for Firm = Average / Normal rate of returns x 100
= 1,00,000 / 10 x 1000
= 10, 00,000
Capital employed = Fixed capital account + Current account
= (2, 50,000 x 2) + 30,000 + 20,000
= 5, 50,000
Goodwill = Capitalised Value – Capital employed
= 10,00,000 – 5,50,000
= 4,50,000
Q29. From the following particulars, calculate value of goodwill of a firm by Capitalisation of Average Profit Method:
- Profits of last five consecutive years ending 31st March, are: 2026 – 54,000; 2025 – 42,000; 2024 – 39,000; 2023– 67,000 and 2022 – 59,000
- Capitalisation rate 20%
- Net assets of the firm 2, 00,000.
Solution –
Average Profit of Last 5 years
= 54,000 + 42,000 + 39,000 + 67,000 + 59,000 / 5
= 2, 61,000 / 5
= 52,200
Total Capitalised Value for Firm = Average / Normal rate of returns x 100
= 52,200 x 100 / 20
= 2, 61,000
Goodwill = Total Capitalised value – Capital Employed
= 2, 61,000 – 2, 00,000
= 61,000
Q30. A business has earned average profit of 4,00,000 during the last few years and the normal rate of return in similar business is 10%. Find value of goodwill by:
- Capitalisation of Super Profit Method
- Super Profit Method if the goodwill is valued at 3 years purchase of super profits.
Assets of the business were 40, 00,000 and its external liabilities 7,20,000
Solution –
Capital Employed = Assets – External Liabilities
= 40, 00,000 – 7, 20,000
= 36, 80,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 36, 80,000 X 10%
= 3, 28,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 4, 00,000 – 3, 28,000
= 72,000
Capitalised value of firm = Super profit x 100 / NRR
= 72,000 x 100 / 10
= 7, 20,000
Goodwill = Super Profit x year of Purchase
= 72,000 x 3
= 2, 16,000
Q31. A firm profit of 5,00,000 .Normal Rate of Return in a similar type of business is 10%. The value of total assets (excluding goodwill) and total outsiders liabilities as on the date of goodwill are 55,00,000 and 14,00,000 respectively. Calculate value of goodwill according to Capitalisation of Super Profit Method as well as Capitalisation of Average Profit Method.
Solution –
Capital Employed = Total Assets – External Liabilities
= 55, 00,000 – 14, 00,000
= 41, 00,000
Capitalised Value for Firm = Average profit / Normal rate of returns x 100
= 5,00,000 X 100 / 10
= 50,00,000
Goodwill = Total Capitalised Value – Capital Employed
= 50, 00,000 – 41, 00,000
= 9, 00,000
Q32. On 1st April, 2018, a firm had assets of 1,00,000 excluding stock of 20,000. The current liabilities were 10,000 and the balance constituted Partners Capital Accounts. If the normal rate of return is 8%, the Goodwill of the firm is valued of 60,000 at four years purchase of Super profit, find the actual profits of the firm.
Solution –
Capital Employed = Total Assets – External Liabilities
= 1, 20,000 – 10,000
= 1, 10,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 1, 10,000 X 8%
= 8,800
Goodwill = Super Profit x No of year purchase
Goodwill = (Average Profit – Normal Profit) x No of year purchase
60,000 = (Average Profit – 8,800) x 4
60,000/4 = Average Profit – 8,800
15,000 = Average Profit – 8,800
Average Profit = 15,000 + 8,800
= 23,800

Q33. Average profit of a firm during the last few years is 1,50,000. In similar business, the normal rate of return is 10% of the capital employed. Calculate the value of goodwill by capitalisation of super `profit method if super profits of the firm are 50,000.
Solution –
Goodwill = Super profit x 100 / NRR
= 5,000 X 100 / 10
= 5, 00,000
Q34. Raja Brothers earn an average profit of 30,000 with a capital of 2,00,000. The normal rate of return in the business is 10%. Using capitalisation of super profit method, workout the value of the goodwill of the firm
Solution – Average Profit = 30,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 2, 00,000 X 10%
= 20,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 30,000 – 20,000
= 10,000
Goodwill = Super profit x 100 / NRR
= 10,000 X 100 / 10
= 1, 00,000
Q35. Rajan and Rajani are partners in a firm. Their capitals were Rajan 3,00,000; Rajani 2,00,000. During the year ended 31st March, 2026, the firm earned a profit of 1,50,000. Calculate the value of goodwill of the firm by capitalisation of super profit assuming that the normal rate of return is 20%.
Solution – Average Profit = 1, 50,000
Capital Employed = 3, 00,000 + 2, 00,000 = 5, 00,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x NRR
= 5, 00,000 X 20%
= 1, 00,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 1, 50,000 – 1, 00,000
= 50,000
Goodwill = Super profit x 100 / NRR
= 50,000 X 100 / 20
= 2, 50,000

- Assets of the firm (excluding goodwill, fictitious assets and non-trade investments) is 7,00,000 whereas Partners Capital is 6, 00,000 and Outside Liabilities 1,00,000.
Solution –
Average Profit = 2, 00,000 + 1, 80,000 + 1, 60,000 / 3
= 5, 40,000 / 3
= 1, 80,000 – 1, 00,000
= 80,000
Normal Profit = 6, 00,000 x 10 / 100
= 6, 00,000
1. Goodwill = Average Profit x No of Year Purchase
= 80,000 x 3
= 2, 40,000
2. Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 80,000 – 60,000
= 20,000
Goodwill = Super Profit x No of year Purchase
= 20,000 x 3
= 60,000
3. Goodwill = Super profit x 100 / NRR
20,000 x 100 / 10
= 2, 00, 000
4. Total Capitalised Value = 80,000 x 100 / 10
= 8, 00,000
Capital Employed = Assets – Liabilities
= 7, 00,000 – 1, 00,000
= 6, 00,000
Goodwill = Capitalised Value – Capital employed
= 8, 00,000 – 6, 00,000
= 2, 00,000
Q37. Rohit and Hardik are partners sharing profits and losses equally. They decided to admit Surya as a partner for 1/3 share. For this purpose, the goodwill of the firm is to be valued. From the following information, calculate the value of goodwill by:
(i) Capitalisation of Average Profit Method.
(ii) Capitalisation of Super Profit Method.
- Average Capital Employed : Rs.6,00,000
- Normal Rate of Return : 12%
- Profit for last three years: 2022-23 : Rs.90,000
2023-24 : Rs.80,000
2024-25 : Rs.1,00,000
- Assets (Excluding goodwill) : Rs.10,00,000
- Liabilities : Rs.4,00,000
Solution-
Case 1
Average profit of cost three years = 90,000 + 80,000 + 1,00,000 / 3
= 270000 / 3 = 90,000
Capitalised value of Average profit = Average profit /Normal Rate of Return
= 90,000 x 100/12
= 7,50,000
Goodwill = Capitalised value of Average profit – Capital employed
= 7,50,000 – 6,00,000 = Rs.1,50,000
Case 2
Average profit of cost three years = 90,000 + 80,000 + 1,00,000 / 3
= 270000 / 3 = 90,000
Normal Profit = Capital employed x Normal rate of Return
= 6,00,000 x 12% = Rs.72,000
Super profit = Average profit – Normal profit
= 90,000 – 72,000 = Rs.18,000
Goodwill of the firm = Super profit / Normal rate of return
= 18,000 x 100 / 12
= Rs.1,50,000
