There are three methods of valuation of goodwill of the firm;

1. Average Profits Method

Goodwill = Average Profits X Number of years of Puchase

2. Super Profits Method

i) Normal Profits = Capital Invested X Normal rate of return/100

ii) Super Profits = Actual Profits - Normal Profits

iii) Goodwill = Super Profits x No. of years purchased

3. Capitalisation Method

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
