Question 5 [3]
Goodwill by capitalization of super profit = Super profit / Normal Rate of Return × 100
Super profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit
Average Profit = 1,94,000/4 = ₹ 48,500
Total Profit for four years = 40,000 + 45,000 + 55,000 + 54,000 = ₹ 1,94,000
Capital Invested = 1,20,000 + 1,00,000 + 20,000 – 10,000 + 20,000 – 10,000 = ₹ 2,40,000
Normal profit = Capital invested x Normal Rate of Return / 100
= 2,40,000 x 10/100 = 24,000
Super profit = 48,500 – 24,000 = ₹ 24,500
Goodwill = 24,500 /10 x 100 = ₹ 2,45,000

Question 13 [6]
(i) Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
2,00,000 = Current Assets – 3,50,000
Current Assets = 5,50,000

Total assets = Non-current Assets + Current Assets
Total assets = 5,50,000 + 8,00,000
Total assets = 13,50,000

Debt = Total Assets – Shareholders funds – Current Liabilities
Debt = 13,50,000 – 6,00,000 – 3,50,000
Debt = 4,00,000

Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/equity
= 4,00,000/6,00,000
= 0.67: 1
(ii) Cost of Revenue from Operation is ₹ 3,20,000
Revenue from operations is ₹ 4,00,000

Average inventory = 40,000 + 1,60,000 / 2
Average inventory = ₹ 1,00,000
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of revenue from operations / Average inventory
= 3,20,000 / 1,00,000
= 3.2 times
(iii) Cost of revenue from operations = Opening inventory + Purchases + Direct Expenses –
Closing inventory
= 20,000 + 80,000 + 8,000 + 3,000 – 9,000
= ₹ 1,02,000

Operating Ratio = [(Cost of revenue from operations + Operating Expenses –
Operating Income) / Revenue from operations] x100

= 1,02,000 + 18,000 / 1,50,000 x 100
= 80%
