Solution

Step 1: Calculation of Normal Profit:
Normal Profit= Capital Employed * [Normal rate of return/100]
= 4200000 * [15/100]
= 630000

Step 2: Calculation of Average Profit:
Average Profit= Profit- Overvaluation of Stock
= 750000- 30000
= 720000

Step 3: Calculation of Super Profit:
Super Profit= Average Profit- Normal Profit
= 720000-630000
= 90000

Step 4: Calculation of Goodwill:
Goodwill = Super profit * No. of years purchase
Goodwill= 90000* 3
= 270000
