of super profit method

2. Capitalisation method
Capitalisation of average
profit
Capitalisation of super
profit
1 2

3. Capitalisation by super profit method
Goodwill = super profit x
Normal rate of return
100
Super profit = actual/average profit - normal profit
Normal profit = capital employed x normal rate
100
● Capital employed = Total assets - goodwill - non trade investments - fictitious assets - outside liabilities
● Capital employed = capital of partners + reserves - goodwill - non trade investments - fictitious assets -
outside liabilities.

4. ILLUSTRATION
Average profit of the firm is 1,50,000. Total tangible assets in the firm are ₹14,00,000 and outside
liabilities are ₹4,00,000. In the same type of business, the normal rate of return is 10% of capital
employed.
Calculate value of goodwill by capitalisation of super profit method.
SOLUTION
Given: average profit = ₹ 1,50,000
Total assets = ₹14,00,000
Outside liabilities = ₹4,00,000
Normal rate = 10%
Goodwill = super profit x 100
rate
= 59,000 x 100
10
= 5,90,000
Super profit = average - normal profit
= 1,50,000 - capital employed x rate
100
= 1,59,000 - 10,00,000 x 10
= 59,000 100

5. ILLUSTRATION
From the following information, calculate value of goodwill of Raj :
(a) On the basis of capitalisation of super profit.
(b) On the basis of capitalisation of average profit.
INFORMATION:
(1) Average capital employed- ₹ 10, 00,000.
(2) Net profit/loss of the firm for the past years: 2018-₹1, 60,000.,2019- ₹ 1,40,000., 2020-₹
2,70,000.
(3) Normal rate of return on capital is 11 %
(4) Remuneration to each partner for his service to be treated as a charge on profit-₹ 2,500
per month.
(5) Assets (excluding goodwill) ₹ 11,00,000., Liabilities-₹ 1,00,000.

6. Solution:
(a) Goodwill by capitalisation of super profit= super profit x 100
rate
Super profit= average normal profit - normal profit
= ₹ 1,30,000 - ₹ 1,10,000
= ₹ 20,000
Goodwill= super profit x 100
11
= 20,000 x100
11
= ₹ 1,81,118.18 or ₹ 1,81,818.
● Average normal profit= average profit - remuneration of partners
= ₹ 1,90,000 - (₹ 2,500 x 2 x 12)
= ₹ 1,30,000
● Normal profit= capital employed x rate
100
= 10,00,000 x 11 = 1,10,000
100
Average profit= ₹ 1,60,0000+₹ 1,40,000+₹ 2,70,000
3
= ₹ 1,90,000

7. (b) Goodwill by capitalisation of average profit = Total capitalized value - Net assets
= average profit x 100 - total assets (excluding goodwill) - outside liabilities
normal rate of return
= ₹ 1,30,000 x 100 - ₹ 11,00,000 - ₹ 1,00,000
11
= ₹ 11,81,800- ₹ 10,00,000
= ₹ 1,81,818
