Detailed Solution & Explanation

Calculation of Goodwill by Super Profit Method a. Calculation of Average Profit Average Profit = total profit / no. of years = 2,40,000 + 2,16,000 + 3,00,000 – 36,000 / 4 = 1,80,000 Less: Annual Remuneration = (36,000) Average Profits = 1,44,000 b. Normal Profit = Capital Invested X Rate of Return / 100 = 9,00,000 x 11 / 100 = 99,000 c. Super Profit = Average Profit- Normal Profit = 1,44,000-99,000 = 45,000 d. Goodwill = Super Profit X No. of years Purchase = 45,000 X 6 = 2,70,000
