Basic Answer
Step 1: Calculate Average Profit
The average profit needs to be adjusted for extraordinary items and non-operating income.
- Total Profit (before adjustments): 1,00,000 + 1,20,000 + 1,10,000 + 10,000 + 1,05,000 = 4,45,000
- Average Profit (before adjustments): 4,45,000 / 5 = 89,000
- Adjustment for VRS: Add back the VRS expense of ₹95,000 to the 2004 profit: 10,000 + 95,000 = 1,05,000
- Adjustment for Interest on Govt. Bonds: The investment of ₹40,000 yields ₹4,000 (40,000 * 10%) annually. Subtract this from 2004 and 2005 profits: 1,05,000 – 4,000 = 1,01,000 (2004) and 1,05,000 – 4,000 = 1,01,000 (2005).
- Adjusted Total Profit: 1,00,000 + 1,20,000 + 1,10,000 + 1,01,000 + 1,01,000 = 5,32,000
- Adjusted Average Profit: 5,32,000 / 5 = 1,06,400
Step 2: Calculate Capital Employed
Capital employed is calculated as the average of the total assets less current liabilities.
- 2004 Capital Employed: 3,65,000 – 25,000 = 3,40,000
- 2005 Capital Employed: 5,40,000 – 30,000 = 5,10,000
- Average Capital Employed: (3,40,000 + 5,10,000) / 2 = 4,25,000
Step 3: Calculate Normal Profit
Normal profit is the reasonable return on capital employed.
- Normal Profit: 4,25,000 * 12% = 51,000
Step 4: Calculate Super Profit
Super profit is the excess of average profit over normal profit.
- Super Profit: 1,06,400 – 51,000 = 55,400
Step 5: Calculate Goodwill
Goodwill is calculated as 3 years’ purchase of super profit.
- Goodwill: 55,400 * 3 = 1,66,200
Final Answer
Goodwill: ₹1,66,200
