Practice question 12 (Model question paper June 2024- 1(v)) The following details relates to M/s XYZ, a firm:
Average profit of last four years = Rs 7,00,000
Average capital employed by the firm = Rs 55,00,000
Normal rate of return = 10%
Present value of annuity of Rs 1 for 4 years @ 10% = 3.1699
Determine the value of goodwill on the basis of annuity of super profit.

Normal profit = (55,00,000 x 10%) = Rs 5,50,000
Super profit = 7,00,000 – 5,50,000 = Rs 1,50,000
Goodwill = 1,50,000 X 3.1699 = Rs 4,75,485
