## Partnership Accounts-Goodwill – CS Foundation Fundamentals of Accounting Notes

Goodwill:

• Goodwill means the reputation of the firm.
• In other words, Goodwill is the value of reputation earned by a firm which helps it to yield more than normal profits.

Features of Goodwill:

• It is an intangible asset i.e. cannot be seen or touched, (it is not a fictitious asset).
• The value of Goodwill fluctuates from time to time.
• It is a valuable asset and placed on the asset side of Balance sheet.

Factors affecting Goodwill of a firm:

• Quality of goods sold/services given.
• Reputation of owners of the firm.
• Efficiency of management.
• Trends of profits etc.
• Monopolistic nature of the business.
• Possibility of competition.
• Government attitude.
• Possession of special contract for availability of material.

Need for valuation of Goodwill:

• On admission of new partner.
• On retirement or death of a partner.
• When there is a change in profit sharing ratio.
• When the business is sold.
• When a firm is amalgamated with another firm.

Goodwill is the present value of a firm’s anticipated super normal | earnings. Super normal earnings means earnings over and above the normal rate of return.

Calculation of Goodwill:
1. Average Profit Method
It is a very simple and widely followed method.
Formula:
Value of Goodwill = Average profit x Number of years of purchase
Here:
(i) Average profits are the past profits after adjustments.

• Abnormal income should be deducted
• Abnormal losses should be added back
• Income from investments should be deducted as it is not earned from the business.

Note: These adjustments are made because average profit is a figure which represents a profit of all past years. Hence, all abnormal items should be removed/adjusted.

(ii) Number of year of purchase – The number of year of purchase are the years for which the goodwill is expected to remain in the business i.e. the years for which the benefits of goodwill can be taken.

Weighted average profit method:

• This method is a slight modification of average profit method.
• Under this method, weights are allotted to each year’s profit.
• Weights are multiplied by the product to get the product.
• The total product is then divided by the total weight to get the weighted average profit
• The method is used when the profits are increasing year after year.
Goodwill = Weighted average profit x No. of years of purchase.

2. Super Profit Method
1. Under this method, goodwill is calculated on the basis of excess profit earned by a firm over and above normal profits.

2. There are three methods for calculating goodwill using super profit method –

• Purchase of super profit.
• Annuity method.
• Capitalization of super profit.

(i) Purchase of super profit:
Goodwill is calculated as follows
Goodwill = Super profit x No. of years of purchase

(ii) Capitalization of super profit method:
Under this method, goodwill is calculated by capitalizing super profits as follows:
Goodwill = $$\frac { Super Profits × 100 }{ Normal Rate of Return }$$

(iii) Annuity method: Under this method, goodwill is calculated by taking the present value of a terminal annuity of a super profit for a reasonable period.
Goodwill = Super Profit x Annuity
Note: Annuity Rate is generally given in question

Example:
A firm earned net profits during the last seven years as follows:
1992 ₹ 20,000 Profit
1993 ₹ 70,000 Loss
1994 ₹ 40,000 Loss
1995 ₹ 2,50,000 Profit
1996 ₹ 2,70,000 Profit
1997 ₹ 3,00,00 Profit
1998 ₹ 3,20,000 Profit
The capital invested in the firm is ₹ 12,00,000. Normal rate of return in the similar type of business is 10%. Calculate the value of goodwill on the basis of 2$$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ years purchases of average super profits earned during the above mentioned seven year
Solution:
(i) Actual Average Profit:
Total Profits of last Seven Years – ₹ 20,000 – ₹ 70,000 – ₹ 40,000 + ₹ 2,50,000 + 2,70,000 : ₹ 3,00,000 + ₹ 3,20,000 = ₹ 10,50,000
Average Profit = $$\frac{10,50,000}{7}$$ = 1,50,000

(ii) Normal Profit = Capital Invested x $$\frac { Normal Rate of Return }{ 100 }$$
= 12,00,000 x 10/100 = ₹ 1,20,000

(iii) Super Profit = Actual Average Profit – Normal Profit
= ₹ 1,50,000 – ₹ 1,20,000 = ₹ 30,000

(iv) Value of Goodwill = Super Profit x Number of years purchased
= ₹ 30,000 x 2.5 = ₹ 75,000

(3) Capitalization method:
Under this method, goodwill is ascertained by comparing value of whole business (applying normal rate of return) with the actual capital employed of the business. The difference of the above will be termed as goodwill. Goodwill = Value of whole business – capital employed where,

Example : Suppose capital employed by a partnership firm is ₹ 1,00,000. Average profits are ₹ 25,000 and normal rate of return is 10%. Calculate the value of goodwill using capitalization method.
Solution:
Goodwill = Whole value of firm – Capital employed = ₹ 2,50,000 – 1,00,000 = ₹ 1,50,000
Working Note:
Whole value of firm = $$\frac { Average Profits × 100 }{ Normal Rate of Return }$$
= $$\frac{25,000×100}{10}$$ = ₹ 2,50,000

(b) ₹ 10,00,000
(c) ₹ 10,000
(d) None of the above
(a) ₹ 1,00,000
Actual earned profit = ₹ 1,10,000
Normal rate of return = 10%
Total Assets = ₹ 11,00,000
Outside Liabilities = ₹ 1,00,000
Capital Employed = Total Assets – Outside Liabilities = 11,00,000- 1,00,000 = ₹ 10,00,000
Normal Profit = Capital Employed x Normal rate of return = 10,00,000 x 10% = ₹ 1,00,000
Super Profit = Actual Profit – Normal Profit = 1,10,000 – 1,00,000 = ₹ 10,000
Goodwill = $$\frac { Super Profit × 100 }{ Normal rate of return }$$
= $$\frac{10,000 \times 100}{10}$$ = ₹ 1,00,000
Goodwill will be ₹ 1,00,000.

39. Total capital employed in the firm is ₹ 8,00,000, reasonable rate of return is 15% and Profit for the year is ₹ 12,00,000. The value of goodwill of the firm as per capitalization method would be:

Calculation of Goodwill according to capitalization method would be:
Notional Capital Employed = $$\frac{12,00,000}{15 \%}$$
= 80,00,000
Less: Actual
Capital Employed 8,00,000
Goodwill (operating in the business) 72,00,000

40. A firm earns a profit of ₹ 1,10,000. The normal rate of return in a similar type of business is 10%. The value of total assets (excluding goodwill) and total outside liabilities are ₹ 11,00,000 and ₹ 1,00,000 respectively. The value of goodwill is _________.
(a) ₹ 1,00,000
(b) ₹ 10,00,000
(c) ₹ 10,000
(d) None of the above
(a) ₹ 1,00,000
Calculation of Value of Goodwill
Profit = ₹ 1,10,000
Normal value of Capital Employed
= $$\frac { Profit }{ Normal rate of return }$$ x 100
Normal Rate of Return = 10%
= $$\frac{1,10,000}{10 \%}$$
= ₹ 11,00,000
Capital Employed = Total Assets Total Liabilities
= 11,00,000 – 1,00,000
= ₹ 10,00,000
Goodwill = 11,00,000 – 10,00,00
= ₹ 1,00,000

41. A firm of X, Y and Z has a total capital investment of ₹ 2,25,000. The firm earned net profit during the last four years ₹ 35,000, 40,000, 60,000, 50,000. The fair return on the net capital employed is 15% . Find the value of goodwill if it is based on 3 years purchase of average super profit of past 4 years.
(a) ₹ 35,000
(b) ₹ 36,500
(c) ₹ 40,000
(d) ₹ 37,500
(d) ₹ 37,500
Average Profit = $$\frac{35,000+40,000+50,000+60,000}{4}$$
= $$\frac{1,85,000}{4}$$ = 46,250
Normal profit = Capital employed x Rate
= 2,25,000 x $$\frac{15}{100 }$$ = 33,750
Super profit = Average profit – Normal profit
= 46,250 – 33,750 = 12,500
Goodwill of 3 years purchase = 12,500 x 3 = 37,500.

42. Goodwill is which type of asset:
(a) Tangible
(b) Intangible
(c) Depleting
(d) Current.
(b) Intangible
An intangible asset is an asset:

• which cannot be touched

• but which assists the firm in acquiring long term wealth, ex. goodwill patents, copyrights, etc.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

43. Sona purchased Simmi’s business from 1sl Jan, 1981. The profit disclosed by Simmi’s business for last 3 years:
1985 – ₹ 40,000 [including abnormal gain of ₹ 5,000]
1986 – ₹ 50,000 [after charging abnormal loss of ₹ 10,000]
1987 – ₹ 45,000 [excluding ₹ 5,000 for insurance premium of firms property now to be insured]
Calculate the goodwill on the basis of 2 years purchase of average profit of last 3 years.
(a) ₹ 80,000
(b) ₹ 90,000
(c) ₹ 1,20,000
(d) ₹ 1,00,000
(b) ₹ 90,000
Corrected Actual Profits:

Value of Goodwill = Average Actual Profit x Years of Purchase
= 45,000 x 2 = 90,000

44. The goodwill of a business is to be valued at 3 years purchase of the average profits of the last three years. The profits of the last three years are ₹ 5,000, ₹ 6,000 and ₹ 7,000 respectively. Hence, the goodwill be valued at:
(a) ₹ 12,000
(b) ₹ 15,000
(c) ₹ 18,000
(d) ₹ 6,000
(c) ₹ 18,000
Under this method, goodwill is valued on the basis of a certain years purchases of the average profits of the past years:
Profits for the last year – ₹ 5,000, ₹ 6,000 and ₹ 7,000.
Average profit = $$\frac{5,000+6,000+7,000}{3}$$
= $$\frac{18,000}{3}$$
= ₹ 6,000
Goodwill = Average profit x No. of yrs. purchase
= 6,000 x 3
= ₹ 18,000

45. Find the average profit of last 3 years and the goodwill of the firm for 2 years of purchase. If the profit for last 2 years is 2010 – ₹ 50,000, 2011 – ₹ 30,000, 2012 – ₹ 1,00,000:
(a) ₹ 80,000, 1,20,000
(b) ₹ 60,000, 1,20,000
(c) ₹ 60,000, 1,00,000
(d) ₹ 70,000, 80,000
(b) ₹ 60,000, 1,20,000
Average Profit = $$\frac{50,000+30,000+1,00,000}{3}$$
= $$\frac{1,80,000}{3}$$

= $$\frac{1,00,000×20}{100}$$
= ₹ 20,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 25,000 – 20,000
= ₹ 5,000
Goodwill = Super Profit x No. of year purchase
= 5,000 x 1
= ₹ 5,000
