Answer the following questions :
(1) Give the meaning of goodwill and explain the factors affecting to its valuation.
Answer:
“Goodwill is an intangible asset which shows the reputation of a firm in the market.” Factors affecting valuation of goodwill :
(i) Nature of business : When a firm has more profit due to stable sales or it earns more profit due to some other reasons or a firm earns more profit than the expected profit or a firm earns profit due to high value added product we can say that there exists goodwill for that firm.
(ii) Location of business : If the business is centrally located or it is at a place having heavy customer traffic then more profit earning is possible in the business. For such kind of business, having prime location, may have high value of goodwill.
(iii) Period of business : Generally, older the firm higher the reputation in the market. Because majority of the customers are familiar and they have close and long term relations with business unit, value of goodwill of such business is bound to be high.

(vi) Other special benefits : When a firm/company acquire license, patent or trademark or has been earning more profit then the value of goodwill in that case is very high. Apart from the above given factors, services after sales, past achievements of a firm, good labour relations etc. also become the reasons to earn more profit. In this circumstances goodwill of the firm is again very high.

(iv) Goodwill is shown in the balance sheet on the assets side under the head of noncurrent assets as intangible asset.
(3) Explain the simple average method for the valuation of goodwill.
Answer:
In the simple average method for the valuation of goodwill the average profit of the past certain years are taken into consideration. Then, this average profit is to be multiplied by the certain number of years for the valuation of goodwill. Here it is assumed that a new business will take certain number of years to earn the same profit. Therefore, the business purchaser is ready to pay the value of goodwill equal to the number of years of average profit.
Generally, the multiplication of average profit and the number of years during which the anticipated profit are expected is known as goodwill.
Illustration : Profit of a firm for last four years is 40,000; ₹ 45,000; ₹ 35,000 and ₹ 60,000 respectively. Value of the goodwill to be determined on the basis of 3 year purchase of last 4 years average profit.
Total profit = ₹ 40,000 + ₹ 45,000 + ₹ 35,000 + ₹ 60,000 = ₹ 1,80,000
Goodwill = Average profit × No. of years of purchase
(4) Explain the weighted average method for the valuation of goodwill.
Answer:
In the weighted average profit method there is continuous increase in the profit, then we should give more weightage to the profit of recent years and give comparatively less weightage to the profits of previous years. Generally, weightage of different year’s profit are numbered as 1, 2, 3 …………
After finding out the product of weightage with profit, average is workout which is known as weighted average profit. If specific instruction is given or profit of the business have continuous increasing or decreasing trend then one must find out goodwill by weighted average profit.
Illustration : Profit of a firm for last 3 years is ₹ 22,000; ₹ 25,000 and ₹ 30,000 respectively. Determine the value of goodwill on the basis of 2 years purchase of last 3 year weighted average profit.
Goodwill = Weighted average profit × No. of years of purchase = ₹ 27,000 × 2 = ₹ 54,000
(5) Explain the super profit method for the valuation of goodwill.
Answer:
For the valuation of goodwill by super profit method, capital employed by business, expected rate of return, expected profit, average profit etc. are used.
Excess of average profit over the expected profit is called ‘Super Profit’ means when a business earns excess profit over average profit then the amount of excess profit is called super profit.
While calculating goodwill on the basis of super profit method, following points should be kept in mind.
– Capital Employed = Total Assets – Total External Liabilities.
– Generally expected rate of raturn is given.
– Expected profit = \(\frac{\text { Capital Employed } \times \text { Expected rate of return }}{100}\)
– Average profit is considered after adjustment.
– Super profit = Average profit – Expected profit
– Goodwill = Super profit × No. of years of purchase
Illustration : On the basis of the following information of a firm, determine the valuation of goodwill on the basis of three years purchase of super profit.
Total Assets ₹ 1,40,000; Total Liabilities ₹ 5,00,000; Expected rate of return 10%.
(6) Explain the profit capitalization method for the valuation of goodwill.
Answer:
In the capitalization of profit method, average profit of the business is computed and it is used to determine its capitalized value on the basis of normal/expected rate of return of the business. Thus, profit arrived at is known as capitalization of profit.
Capitalized profit means capitalized value of average profit on the basis of the expected rate of return.
Goodwill = Capitalized profit – Capital employed
If capitalized amount is equal to the capital employed or less, then there is no goodwill of the business.
Illustration : From the following information of a firm, determine the value of goodwill on the basis average profit capitalization method.
Total Assets ₹ 10,00,000; Total liabilities ₹ 2,00,000; Expected rate of return 10%; last three years profit of the firm is ₹ 1,10,000; ₹ 1,30,000 and ₹ 1,20,000 respectively.
