Calculate the value of goodwill.
Capital Employed = Total Asset - Outside Liability - Outside Liability
= Rs. (19,50,000 - 4,00,000 - 50,000)
= Rs. 15,00,000
Normal Profits = 15,00,000 x `frac{15}{100}`
= Rs. 2,25,000.
Super Profits = Average Profits - Normal Profits
= Rs. (4,00,000 - 2,25,000)
= Rs. 1,75,000
Goodwill = Super Profits x No. of Years of purchase
= Rs. (1,75,000 x 4)
= Rs. 7,00,000
