Correct calculation of goodwill is very difficult work. But with using correct formulae of specific method , you can easily calculate goodwill . There are four methods to calculate goodwill .
Ist Method
Average profit method
In this method, we calculate previous year’s profits average and then we multiply it with number of purchase years.
2nd Method
Super profit method
In this method, we calculate normal profit with normal rate on investment. Then we calculate super profit with following formula.
Super profit = average profit / actual profit – normal profit
Goodwill = super profit X No. of purchase years
