Verified Answer

Step 1: Calculate Total Capital Employed

= ₹4,00,000 + ₹1,00,000

= ₹5,00,000

Step 2: Calculate Normal Profit

Normal Profit

= Capital Employed × Normal Rate of Return

= ₹5,00,000 × 15%

= ₹75,000

Step 3: Calculate Super Profit

Goodwill = Super Profit × Number of Years' Purchase

₹1,00,000 = Super Profit × 2

Super Profit = ₹50,000

Step 4: Calculate Average Profit

Average Profit

= Normal Profit + Super Profit

= ₹75,000 + ₹50,000

= ₹1,25,000

Final Answer

Option (A) ₹1,25,000
