A business has earned average profits of Rs 1,00,000 during the last few years and the normal rate of return in a similar type of business is 10%. Ascertain the value of goodwill by capitalization of average profit method. Given that the value of net asset of the business is Rs 8,20,000.
Average profit = Rs 1,00,000
Capitalisation of average profit = 1,00,000×10010=Rs 10,00,000
Capital employed in the business = Rs 8,20,000
Therefore, Goodwill = 10,00,000−8,20,000=Rs 1,80,000
