1. Total Profit = Rs. `10,000 +Rs. 15,000+ Rs. 4,000+ Rs. 6,000 - Rs. 5,000 = Rs. 30,000`
Average Profits = Rs, `30.000//5 = Rs. 6,000`
Goodwill = Average Profits `xx 3= Rs. 6,000 xx 3 = Rs. 18,000`
2. Average Profit = Rs. 12,000
Normal Profit = Rs. `1,00,000 xx (8)/(100) = Rs. 8,000`
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal profit = Rs. `12,000 - Rs. 8,000`
= Rs. 4,000
Goodwill=Super Profit `xx3 = Rs. 4,000 xx 3 = Rs. 12,000`
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit = Rs, `30.000 - Rs, 20,000 = Rs. 10,000`
Goodwill = Super Profit `xx 100`/Normal Rate of Return `= 10.000 xx 100//10 = Rs. 1,00,000`.
