WN: 2 Calculation of Average Profit

#### Question 5:

A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They decided to admit C as a partner from 1st April, 2018 on  the following terms:
(i) C will be given 2/5th share of the profit.
(ii) Goodwill of the firm be valued at two years' purchase of three years' normal average profit of the firm.
profits of the previous three years ended 31st March, were:
2018 – Profit â‚¹ 30,000 ( after debiting loss of stock by fire â‚¹ 40,000).
2017 – Loss â‚¹ 80,000 (includes voluntary retirement compensation paid â‚¹ 1,10,000).
2016 – Profit â‚¹ 1,10,000 (including a gain (profir) of â‚¹ 30,000 on the sale of fixed assets).
you are required to value the goodwell.

Goodwill = Normal Average Profit × Number of years' purchase

 Year Actual Profit + Abnormal Loss Non-recurring – Abnormal Gain Non-recurring = Normal Profit 2018 30,000 + 40,000 – Nil = 70,000 2017 (80,000) + 1,10,000 – Nil = 30,000 2016 1,10,000 + Nil – 30,000 = 80,000 Normal Profit for 3 Years 1,80,000

Number of years’ purchase is 2

Goodwill = 60,000 × 2 = Rs 1,20,000

#### Question 6:

X and Y are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admit Z into partnership for 1/4th share in goodwill. Z brings in his share of goodwill in cash. Goodwill for this purpose is to be calculated at two years' purchase of the average normal profit of past three years. Profits of the last three years ended 31st March, were:
2016 – Profit â‚¹ 50,000 (including profit on sale of assets â‚¹5,000).
2017 – Loss â‚¹ 20,000 (includes loss by fire â‚¹ 30,000)
2018 – Profit â‚¹ 70,000 (including insurance claim received â‚¹ 18,000 and interest on investments and Dividend received â‚¹ 8,000).
Calculate value of goodwill. Also, calculate goodwill brought in by Z.

 Year Actual Profit + Abnormal Loss Non-recurring – Abnormal Gain Non-recurring = Normal Profit 2016 50,000 + Nil – 5,000 = 45,000 2017 (20,000) + 30,000 – Nil = 10,000 2018 70,000 + Nil – 18,000+8,000 = 44,000 Normal Profit for 3 Years 99,000

Number of years’ purchase = 2

#### Question 7:

A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2 : 1. They decide to take C into partnership for 1/4th share on 1st April, 2018. For this purpose, goodwill is to be valued at four times the average annual profit of the previous four or five years whichever is higher. The agreed profits for goodwill purpose of the past five years are:

 Year 2013–14 2014–15 2015–16 2016–17 2017–18 Profit (â‚¹) 14,000 15,500 10,000 16,000 15,000

#### Question 22:

On 1st April, 2018, an existing firm had assets of â‚¹ 75,000 including cash of â‚¹ 5,000. Its creditors amounted to â‚¹ 5,000 on that date. The firm had a Reserve of â‚¹ 10,000 while Partners' Capital Accounts showed a balance of â‚¹ 60,000. If Normal Rate of Return is 20% and goodwill of the firm is valued at â‚¹ 24,000 at four years' purchase of super profit, find average profit per year of the existing firm.

Capital Employed = Total Assets Creditors

= 75,000 5,000 = Rs 70,000

Goodwill of the firm = Rs 24,000

Number of years’ purchase = 4

Or, 24,000 = Super Profit × 4

#### Question 23:

The average profit earned by a firm is â‚¹ 1,00,000 which includes undervaluation of stock of â‚¹ 40,000 on an average basis. The capital invested in the business is â‚¹ 6,30,000 and the normal tare of return is 5%. Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 5 time the super profit.

Average Profit earned by a firm = Rs 1,00,000
Undervaluation of Stock = Rs 40,000
Average Actual Profit = Average Profit earned by a firm + Undervaluation of Stock
or, Average Actual Profit = 1,00,000 + 40,000 = Rs 1,40,000

Super Profit = Actual Average Profit – Normal Profit
or, Super Profit = 1,40,000 – 31,500 = Rs 1,08,500
Goodwill = Super Profit × Number of Times
Goodwill = 1,08,500 × 5 = Rs 5,42,500

#### Question 24:

Average profit earned by a firm is â‚¹ 7,50,000 which includes overvaluation of stock of â‚¹ 30,000 on an average basis. The capital invested in the business is â‚¹ 42,00,000 and the normal tare of return is 15%. Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 3 time the super profit.

Average Profit earned by a firm = Rs 7,50,000
Overvaluation of Stock = Rs 30,000
Average Actual Profit = Average Profit earned by a firm – Overvaluation of Stock
or, Average Actual Profit = 7,50,000 – 30,000 = Rs 7,20,000

Super Profit = Actual Average Profit – Normal Profit
or, Super Profit = 7,20,000 – 6,30,000 = Rs 90,000
Goodwill = Super Profit × Number of Times
Goodwill = 90,000 × 3 = Rs 2,70,000

A business has earned average profit of â‚¹ 1,00,000 during the last few years. Find out the value of goodwill by capitalisation method, given that the assets of the business are â‚¹ 10,00,000 and its external liabilities are â‚¹ 1,80,000. The normal rate of return is 10%.

#### Question 28:

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: 2018–â‚¹ 54,000; 2017–â‚¹42,000; 2016–â‚¹ 39,000; 2015–â‚¹ 67,000 and 2014–â‚¹ 59,000
(ii) Capitalisation rate 20%.
(iii) Net assets of the firm â‚¹ 2,00,000.

#### Question 29:

A business has earned average profit of â‚¹ 4,00,000 during the last few years and the normal rate of return in similar business is 10%. Find value of goodwill by:
(i) Capitalisation of Super Profit Method, and
(ii) Super Profit Method if the goodwill is valued at 3 years' purchase of super profits.
Assets of the business were â‚¹ 40,00,000 and its external liabilities â‚¹ 7,20,000.

Average Profit – Rs 4,00,000
Normal Rate of Return – 10%

(i) Goodwill by Capitalisation of Super profit

Super Profit = Actual Profit – Normal Profit
= 4,00,000 – 3,28,000
= Rs 72,000

=Rs 7,20,000

(ii) Super Profit Method if the goodwill is valued at 3 years’ purchase of super profits

Therefore, Goodwill is valued at Rs 2,16,000

#### Question 30:

A firm earns profit of â‚¹ 5,00,000. Normal Rate of Return in a similar type of business is 10%. The value of total assets (excluding goodwill) and total outsiders' liabilities as on the date of goodwill are â‚¹ 55,00,000 and â‚¹ 14,00,000 respectively. Calculate value of goodwill according to Capitalisation of Super Profit Method as well as Capitalisation of Average Profit Method.
