6. Mention any two methods of valuation
of Goodwill. 2
Ans:- two methods of valuation of
goodwill are:-
(i) Average Profit Method: This method
is divided into two subdivisions.
(a) Simple Average: In this process,
goodwill valuation is done by calculating the average profit based on the
number of years, it is called year's purchases. It can be calculated using the
formula. Goodwill = Average Profit x Number of years of purchase.
(b) Weighted Average: Here, the profit
of the previous year is calculated by a specific number of weights. It is used
to obtain the value of goods, which is divided by the total number of weights
to determine the average weight gain. This technique is used when there is a
change in profit and the current year's profit is given more importance. It is
evaluated using the formula. Goodwill = Weighted Average Profit x Number of
years of purchase, where Weighted Average Profit = Sum of Profit multiplied
by Weight / Sum of Weight
(ii) Super Profit Method: It is the
surplus of expected future maintainable profits over normal profits. There are
two methods among these methods.

specific number of purchase years. This can be estimated by applying the
formula given below. Super Profit = Actual or Average Profit – Normal Profit
(b) Annuity Method: Here, the average
premium is taken as the annuity value over a certain number of years. The
discounted amount of super profit calculates the present value of an annuity at
a given interest rate. Here is the formula used.

7. What are the sources of Cash Flows as
per AS-3 (Revised)? 3
Ans:- According to Accounting
Standard-3, various activities of cash flow statement are classified into three
categories as follows:-
(i) Cash flows from operating activities: These are the major revenue generating activities and other
activities of the enterprise. The cash flow statement begins with the operating
activities section. Operating activities generally reflect cash generated
and/or paid out as a result of the firm's main business operations. Under US
GAAP, this category includes cash received from customers, payments to
suppliers, payments for operating costs, payments for income taxes, interest
received or dividends, and payments for periodic interest costs.
(ii) Investing activities: These are the
acquisition and disposal of long-term assets, other investments not included in
cash equivalents. Cash flows from investing activities include non-current
capital assets used in the firm's operations, such as property, plant,
equipment (PP&E) and intangible assets. When a company invests in new
long-term capacity through PP&E or by acquiring another company, investment
is an outflow of cash from investing activities. Disposal of these types of
assets for cash generates inflows.
(iii) Financial activities: These are
those activities which result in changes in the size and structure of owner's
capital and borrowings of the enterprise. Cash flows from financing activities
are those that occur between a firm and its investors. These include both the
equity investments of stockholders (owners) and the debts of bondholders and
other creditors. When the company issues new shares, it records cash inflow
from the financing, and when it repurchases shares, pays dividends or pays off
debt, it records cash outflow.
