Super profit is ₹40,000 and the years’ purchase is 2.5. What is the value of goodwill?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹1,00,000

Under the super-profit method, goodwill is calculated by multiplying super profit by the agreed number of years’ purchase. The governing formula is: Goodwill = Super Profit × Years’ Purchase. Substituting the given values gives: ₹40,000 × 2.5. Since 2.5 equals 5/2, the calculation is ₹40,000 × 5/2 = ₹20,000 × 5 = ₹1,00,000. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B divides the super profit by 2.5 instead of multiplying it. Option C uses an unrelated addition or approximation, and option D multiplies by 2 rather than 2.5. The years’ purchase represents the number of future years for which the excess earning capacity is being valued.
