Important Points
Goodwill is the good name or reputation of the business which brings benefit to the business
m
Goodwill is an intangible fixed asset. It is intangible because it has no physical existence. It
cannot be seen or touched.
In case of partnership firms, whenever there is a change in the mutual rights of partners, the need

for valuation of goodwill arises.
Goodwill may be classified into acquired goodwill and self-generated goodwill.
Annuity refers to series of uniform cash flows at regular intervals
.c
Only acquired goodwill can be shown in the books of accounts. Self-generated goodwill should
not be shown in the books of accounts.
Before calculating the average profit for the purpose of valuation of goodwill, all adjustments
ks
such as adjustments for non-operating expenses and incomes, non-recurring expenses and
incomes and over or under-valuation of stocks must be made.
Normal rate of return refers to the rate at which profit is earned by similar business entities in the
