The capital employed in the firm is Rs. 5,00,000. You are required to calculate the goodwill at 3 years purchase of super-profits. The normal rate of return on capital employed is 5%.
Answer:
Average Profit = \(\frac { 35000 + 30000 + 27500 + 25000 + 20000 }{ 5 }\)

Determine the new capitals of Anju and Manju and record the necessary journal entries assuming that the partner whose capital falls short, brings in the amount of deficiency and the partner who has an excess, withdraws the excess amount.
