The correct answer is Subjective. **Calculation of Goodwill:** **(i) Four years purchase of average profits:** Total Profits = 60,000 + 90,000 + 1,20,000 = ₹ 2,70,000. Average Profit = 2,70,000 / 3 = ₹ 90,000. Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of years' purchase Goodwill = 90,000 × 4 = **₹ 3,60,000**. **(ii) Capitalisation of Super Profits:** Capital Employed = Abha's Capital + Sara's Capital = 3,00,000 + 2,00,000 = ₹ 5,00,000. Normal Profit = 10% of 5,00,000 = ₹ 50,000. Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit Super Profit = 90,000 - 50,000 = ₹ 40,000. Goodwill = Super Profit × (100 / Normal Rate of Return) Goodwill = 40,000 × (100 / 10) = **₹ 4,00,000**.
