Year | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 |
| Profits (Rs.) | 45,000 | 50,000 | 52,000 | 65,000 | 85,000 |
Calculate the value of goodwill on the basis of two years of purchase of weighted average profits, the weights to be used are 2011-1, 2012-2, 2013-3, 2014-4 and 2015-5
Solution:
| Year | Profit (Rs.) | Weights | Weights Profit Weight |

3: (Super Profit Method)
A firm earned net profits during the last three years as:
| Year | 2011-13 | 2013-14 | 2014-15 |
| Profits (Rs.) | 36,000 | 40,000 | 44,000 |
The capital investment of the firm is Rs. 1,20,000. A fair return on the capital having regard to the risk involved is 10%. Calculate the value of goodwill on the basis of three years purchase of the super profit for the last three years.
Solution:
Average profit : 
= 40,000
Normal profit = 
Normal profit = 
= Rs. 12,000
Super profit = Average profit – Normal profit
= Rs. 40,000 – 12,000 = Rs. 28,000
Goodwill = Super profitNo. of years of purchase.
= Rs. 
= Rs. 84,000
4 (Capitalisation Method): A earns Rs. 1,20,000 as its annual profits, the rates of normal profit being 10%. The assets of the firm amounted to Rs. 14,40,000 and liabilities to Rs. 4,80,000. Find out the value of goodwill by capitalization method.
Solution:
Capitalised value of the firm Average Profit
= Rs. = Rs. 12,00,000
Capital employed = Total assets – liabilities
= Rs. 14,40,000 – 4,80,000 = Rs. 9,60,000
Goodwill = Capitalised value – Capital Employed
= Rs. 12,00,000 – 9,60,000 = Rs. 2,40,000
5. (Average profit method): A and B are partners in a firm. They admit C into the firm.

2nd Year (Rs. 15,000 – Rs. 10,000)5,000
3rd Year30,000

Super Profit = Average profit – Normal profit
Rs. 6,000 = Average Profit – Rs. 15,000
Average Profit Rs. 6,000, Rs. 15,000, Rs. 21,000

8: M/s Aradhya having the assets of Rs 10,00,000 and Liabilities of Rs 4,20,000. The firm earns the annual profit of Rs. 90,000. The rate of interest expected from the capital having regard to the risk involved is 15%. Calculate the amount of Goodwill by Capitalisation of Super Profit method.
Solution:
Super Profit = Average/Actual Profits – Normal Profits
Actual Profits = Rs. 90,000
Normal Profit = 
Capital Employed = Total Assets – Outside’s Liabilities
= Rs. 10,00,000 –Rs. 4,20,000
= Rs. 5,80,000
Normal Profit = Rs. 
= Rs. 87,000
Super Profits = Rs. 90,000 – Rs. 87,000
= Rs. 3,000
Goodwill = 
= 
Ans : Goodwill = Rs. 20,000
