Normal Profits `= ("Capital Employed" xx "Normal Rate of Retrun")/(100)`
= Rs. `(5,00,000 xx 10)/(100) = Rs. 50,000`
`{:(Year,Profit(Rs)),(2011,40000),(2012,5000),(2013,55000),(2014,70000),(2015,85000),(Total,300000):}`
`{:("Average Profits",=,Rs 300000//5 = Rs.60000),("Supper Profit",=,Rs.60000-Rs.50000 = Rs. 10000),("Goodwill",=,Rs.10000 xx 3 = Rs. 30000):}`
