Capitalised Value of Average Profits = Average Profits X (100 / Normal Rate of Return)

Capital Employed = Assets - Liabilities

Goodwill = Capitalised Value of Average Profits - Capital Employed

Hence Value of goodwill (a) Rs.52,000

Goodwill  is Future expected cash flows/benefit - net assest

Future Expected benefit or cash flow =10,000 /10%    =  100,000

Net asset = total asset - current liabilities =72000 -24000 =48000

Goodwill =100,000-48000 =52000

goodwill=super profits *no of years purchased

super profit=actual profit - normal profit

normal profit=capital invested*normal rate of return/100

capital invested ==48000

normal profit=48000*10\\100=4800

super profit==5200

goodwill=5200*1=5200
