Solution

Step 1: Calculation of Capital Employed:
Capital Employed= Assets- External Liabilities
= 1000000- 180000
= 820000

Step 2: Calculation of Capitalised value of Profit:
Capitalised Value of Profit= Profit * [100/rate of return]
= 100000 * [100/10]
= 1000000

Step 3: Calculation of Goodwill:
Goodwill= Capitalised value of profit- Capital employed
= 1000000-820000
= 180000
