Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
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.

★Super profit = Actual profit - normal profit (200000-125000) = 75000
★normal profit = 1250000 * 10% = 125000
★Goodwill = super profit * year (75000 * 3) = 225000
