    • It is internally generated or hard-earned goodwill which arises due to continued hard work of the organization, its better-quality products and better customer services.
    • Self-generated goodwill is not recorded in the books because no consideration in money or money’s worth is paid for it.

Important to Note: As per AS-26 Goodwill should not be recorded in books unless it is purchased

2. METHODS OF VALUATION OF GOODWILL

 A. Simple Average Profit

Goodwill = Simple Average Profit X Number of years purchased

Where:

Simple Average profit = Simple Average of pure profit of last few years 

Computation of Pure Profits

Profit or Loss of past year (before adjustments)

Add:

Less:

B. Weighted Average Profit

Goodwill = Weighted Average Profit X Number of years purchased

Where:

Weighted Average profit = Weighted Average of pure profit of last few years

      • Weights for each year Profit is given in the question
      • Pure Profit is multiplied by weight of respective year and ‘Product’ is obtained
      • Weighted Average Profit = Total Product / Total Weights

         

Number of years purchased = For how many years firm will earn same profits (this is given in the question)          

Number of years purchased = For how many years firm will earn same profits (this is given in the question)

C. Super Profit Method

Goodwill = Super Profit X Number of years purchased

Where:

Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal profit

Average profit = Simple Average of pure profit of last few years 

Normal Profit = Normal Profit is the Profit earned by similar firms in similar businesses and can be computed with the formula                

Average Capital Employed X Normal Rate of Return

Average Capital Employed  = (Capital Employed at beginning of year + Capital Employed at end of year) / 2

                   Normal Rate of Return = Rate of return earned by the similar firms in the market. This rate is already given in the question

Number of years purchased = For how many years firm will earn same profits (this is given in the question)

Computation of Capital Employed

Liabilities Side Approach

Capital                   

 Add:

Less:

Assets Side Approach

All Assets (excluding goodwill, fictitious assets, Non-trade Investments)

Less:

D. Capitalization of Super Profit Method

Goodwill = Super Profits X 

Where:

Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal profit

Average profit = Simple Average of pure profit of last few years 

Normal Profit = Normal Profit is the Profit earned by similar firms in similar businesses and can be computed with the formula                

Average Capital Employed X Normal Rate of Return

Normal Rate of Return = Rate of return earned by the similar firms in the market. This rate is already given in the question

E. Capitalization of Average Profits

Goodwill = Average Profits X 

– Net Assets or Average Capital

      • As per the profit earned by firm, how much capital is required for the same (using normal rate)
      • How much Capital Firm has put in the business (Capital Employed)
      • If the Firm is able to earn more profits even by putting lesser capital, it is because of Firm’s Goodwill

Where:

Average Profits = Simple Average of pure profit of last few years 

Normal Rate of Return = Rate of return earned by the similar firms in the market. This rate is already given in the question

Average Capital Employed =

(Capital Employed at beginning of year + Capital Employed at end of year) / 2
