Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The correct option is "Rs. 2,25,000".Children, let us carefully solve this step by step.
Step 1: Normal Profit
We know that Normal Profit = Capital Employed × Normal Rate of Return.
Here, Capital Employed = Rs. 12,50,000 and NRR = 10%.
So, Normal Profit = 12,50,000 × 10% = Rs. 1,25,000.
Step 2: Super Profit
Super Profit = Adjusted Net Profit – Normal Profit.
Adjusted Net Profit = Rs. 2,00,000.
Normal Profit = Rs. 1,25,000.
So, Super Profit = 2,00,000 – 1,25,000 = Rs. 75,000.
Step 3: Goodwill
Goodwill is calculated on the basis of 3 years’ purchase of Super Profit.
Goodwill = 75,000 × 3 = Rs. 2,25,000.
Final Answer:
Thus, the value of goodwill is Rs. 2,25,000 which is Option B.
