Form the following particulars, calculate value of goodwill of a firm by applying Capitalisation of Average Profit Method:

(i) Profits of last five consecutive years ending 31st March are: 2019 − ₹ 54,000; 2018 − ₹ 42,000; 2017 − ₹ 39,000; 2016 − ₹ 67,000 and 2015 − ₹ 59,000.

(ii) Capitalisation rate 20%.

(iii) Net assets of the firm ₹ 2,00,000.




Goodwill = Capitalised value of Average Profit - Capital Employed

Average Profit = `"total profits of the years"/"number of years of profit"`

= Average Profit = Rs. `"54,000 + 42,000 + 39,000 + 67,000 + 59,000"/5`

= Rs. `"2,61,000"/5`

= Rs. 52,200.

Capitalised Value of Average Profit = Average Profit 
`\times` `"100"/"Normal Rate of Return"`

= Rs. 52,000 `\times` `"100"/20`

= Rs. 2,61,000.

Goodwill = Rs. (2,61,000 - 2,00,000)

= Rs. 61,000.
