Dear Students,
The wise do not yearn for unattainable
things; they do not grieve for thingswhich they have lost; and they are not
perplexed when faced by adversity.
Vidura Neeti
Having enjoyed the festival seasonmerrily, I hope those of you who will be
appearing in the ensuing December 2003 examinationwould have by now switched over to serious preparations. I
would like to emphasize that if you want to face theexamination with confidence, you have to put in sincere
efforts and hard work to achieve the desired results. Preparethoroughly and write the examination with confidence
because if you set your heart and mind on a goal , nothingcan stop you from achieving positive results. Always have a
sense of pride in aiming at excellence in whatever workyou undertake.
Ideally, by this time, you would have acquired thoroughknowledge and understanding of all the relevant topics and
started the revision process. You can succeed in theCompany Secretaries Profession examination by adopting
a planned approach towards your studies. This includesadequate emphasis on all the subjects, assimilation of
concepts by linking theoretical concepts with the practicalwork. Avoid partial or selective studies. Questions in the
examinations can be set from any portion of the syllabus.
As such no chance should be taken in this regard.Friends, there are no short cuts for success and alwayskeep in mind that there is no substitute for hard work. The
road to success is neither short nor smooth and the journeyto reach the destination of success requires patience,
perseverance, dedication and devotion. Being the studentsof this premier professional Institute of the country, it is
important that your horizons of knowledge should be wide.Apart from reading the study material, you are expected to
read reference titles, all issues of Foundation CourseBulletin, Economic dailies and magazines, Bare Acts and
case law to have thorough, in-depth and up-to-dateknowledge of the subject. Writing self-evaluation answers
to the Test Papers given in the study material as if underexamination conditions will provide you the much-needed
self-confidence and writing practice. Writing answers to thepoint in a logical and orderly manner would also definitely
help you to get good marks. In addition, the GuidelineAnswers for June 2003 examination, which are already
available for sale, would prove to be a valuable guide toyou in properly writing the answers.
The Institute is constantly striving to groom and better equipthe students in their endeavour to become wholesome
professionals by constantly improving all the student-relatedfacilities. In this regard, this issue of the Bulletin contains
the gist of the comments and suggestions received fromthe examiners on the performance of the examinees in the
June 2003 examination. The main objectives of sharing theobservations made by the examiners are that it would
enable: (1) those of you who were not successful in theprevious attempt, to be better prepared this time, by noting
your drawbacks, and (2) those of you appearing for the firsttime, may note the general deficiencies and mistakes of
the predecessors and take due care not to repeat the same.In case you have any difficulty in any of your subjects, you
are most welcome to get in touch with the Directorate ofStudies and Publications at the Institutes Headquarters.

VALUATION OF GOODWILL1
Introduction
Goodwill is the value of the reputation of a business house inrespect of the profits expected in future over and above thenormal level of profits earned by undertakings belonging tothe same class of business. In otherwords, goodwill is thepresent value of a firms anticipated super normal earnings.The term super-normal earnings means the excess of earningsattributable to operating tangible and intangible assets (otherthan goodwill) over and above the normal rate of return earnedby representative firms in the same industry. It is observed
that when a man pays for goodwill, he pays for something whichplaces him in the position of being able to earn more moneythan he would be able to by his own unaided efforts. Goodwillis an intangible asset but not a fictitious one.
Factors affecting the value of goodwill
Value of goodwill depends upon the capacity of the businessto earn excess profits. Therefore, all such factors which help inincreasing the profitability of business will also affect ths valueof goodwill. This will depend on the following factors.
Reputation of management/owners:A business managed bypersons cf high integrity and efficiency wil! have higher profitabilityand will have more value for its goodwill.
Location of business :A favourable location of the business
helps to a great extent in attracting customers, leads to greaterprofitability and thus goodwill.
Prior entry in the business : A business older in age wil!have more goodwill since it is better known to the customers.
Nature of business : A business dealing in goods of amonopolistic type or goods having a stable demand will havea higher value of goodwill as compared to others.
Other factors :The reputation of the goods dealt in or thequality of service rendered, the patents, copywrite or trademarks owned by the firm have an effect on its value of goodwill.
Need for valuing goodwill
The necessity for the valuation of goodwill in a firm arises
in the following circumstances :(a) Where the profit sharing ratio amongst the partners is
changed.
(b) When a new partner is admitted.
(c) When a partner retires or dies.
(d) When the business is sold, and
(e) When a firm is amalgamated with another firm.
Methods of valuation of goodwill
Following are the different methods of valuing goodwill :
1. Prepared by M.A. Joseph, Asst. Director, The ICSI
(i) Average profit method
Goodwill is sometimes valued on the basis of a certain numberof years purchase of the average profits of the past few years.
While calculating average profits for the purposes ofvaluation of goodwill certain adjustments are made, which areas follows :
(a) AII actual expenses and losses not likely to occur in thefuture are added back to profits;
(b) Expenses and losses expected to be borne in future arededucted from such profits;
(c) AII profits likely to accrue in the future are added; and
(d) Even actual profits not likely to reccur in future arededucted.
After having adjusted profit in the light of future possibilities,average profits are estimated and then the value of goodwill iscalculated i.e. the average profits are ascertained then it ismultiplied by a particular number, say 3 or 4, representing thenumber of years purchase.
This method has nothing to recommend itself sincegoodwill is attached to profits over and above what one canearn by starting a new business or by normal business engagedin the same line of activity, and not to total profits. It ignoresthe amount of capital employed for earning the profit. However,it is usual to adopt this method for valuing the goodwill of thepractice of a professional person such as a charteredaccountant or a doctor.
(ii) Super profit method
In this case the future maintainable profits of the firm arecompared with the normal profits for the firm. Normal earningsof a business can be judged only in the light of normal rate ofearning and the capital employed in the business.
Hence, this method of valuing goodwill would require thefollowing information :
(i) A normal rate of return for representative firms in theindustry.
(ii) The fair value of capital employed.
(iii) Estimated future maintainable profits.
The normal rate of earning is that rate of earning whichinvestors in general expect on their investments in the particulartype of industry. Normal rate of earning depends upon the riskattached to the investment, bank rate, market need and theperiod of investment.
Capital employed may be expressed as aggregate of sharecapital and reserves less the amount of non-trading assets
such as investments. The capital employed may also beascertained by adding up the present values of trading assetsand deducting all liabilities. Super profit is the simple differencebetween future maintainable operating profit and normal profit.
There are three methods of calculating goodwill basedon super profit :
(a) Purchase of super profit
As per this method, value of goodwill be obtained bymultiplying super profit by a certain number of years.
(b) Annuity method
Goodwill according to the annuity method is the present

ACADEMIC GUIDANCE
value of a terminal annuity of super profit for a reasonableperiod during which the super profit is likely to occur. It iscalculated as :
Super profit x Annuity rate
(c) Capitalisation of super profit
In this method, the value of goodwill is arrived at bycapitalising the super profit at the normal rate of return. It iscalculated as :
returnofrateNormal
100profitSuper
(iii) Capitalisation method
The capitalisation of profit method values goodwill at theexcess of capital that should have been employed for earningthe average profit over the capital which has been actuallyemployed. In this method the value of whole business is foundby using the formula :
returnofrateNormal
100profitAverage
From this figure, the net assets (excluding goodwill) ofthe firm are deducted and the resultant value will be thegoodwill.
Accounting Treatment
Para 16 read with para 36 of the Accounting Standard-10(AS-10)Accounting for Fixed Assets states that goodwillshould be recorded in the books of account only when someconsideration in money or moneys worth has been paid for it.Whenever a business is acquired for a price (payable in cashor in shares or otherwise) which is in excess of the value ofthe net assets of the business taken over, the excess shouldbe treated as goodwill. For example, when a partnership firm
of X and Y purchases the net assets of Z amounting toRs.6,00,000 for Rs.6,50,000 in cash, the additional paymentof Rs.50,000 is a payment for goodwill in cash. It is a case ofpurchased goodwill (an asset) and can be recorded in thebooks of account of X and Y. Therefore, only purchased goodwillshould be recorded in the books of account whether thepayment is made directly in cash or moneys worth. When nopayment is made for the purchase of goodwill, it is a case ofinternally generated goodwill or inherent goodwill. For instance,in the event of reconstitution of the firm as a result of admission,retirement, death or change in profit sharing ratio, goodwill ofthe firm is evaluated. In such cases, the value of goodwill shouldnot be brought into books of account as it is an inherent or selfgenerated goodwill and no money or moneys worth has been
paid for it. Then goodwill should be calculated as per any ofthe methods stated above and adjusted through the capitalaccounts of the partners. Hence no goodwill account shouldbe raised in the books of account on reconstitution of the firmor change in the profit sharing ratio among the partners.Therefore, it is stated that the internally generated or inherentgoodwill should not be raised in the books of account. Insteadit should treated through the capital accounts of the concernedpartners. In no case, the goodwill raised should be shown inthe balance sheet.
In the light of the above discussion, the various alternativecourses for the accounting treatment of goodwill may be as
follows :
(1) At the time of Admission of a Partner
(i) When the required amount of goodwill is brought inby the incoming partner
In this case, the amount of goodwill brought in by theincoming partner is shared by the old partners in their sacrificingratio. Journal entry will be as follows :
Bank Account Dr.
To Old Partners Capital A/c
(In the sacrificing ratio)
(ii) When the required amount of goodwill brought in bythe new partner is immediately withdrawn by the
partners
In this case the amount of goodwill is withdrawn by thepartners in the sacrificing ratio and the entry for withdrawalwill be :
Old Partners Capital A/c Dr.
To Bank
(iii) Where the new partner pays amount of goodwillprivately to the old partners
In this case, no entry is passed in the books of the firm.The amount to be paid to each partner should be calculatedas per the profit-sacrificing ratio.
(iv) Where the partner is unable to bring anything for
goodwill
In this case, the value of goodwill should not be raised inthe books. Since it is inherent goodwill. it is preferable thatsuch value of goodwill should be adjusted through partnerscapital accounts. The new partners capital account is debitedwith the share of goodwill and the amount is credited to oldpartners capital accounts in the ratio in which they makesacrifice of profits. The journal entry will be:
New Partners Capital A/c Dr.
To Old Partners Capital A/c
Instead of adjusting the value of goodwill of the firmthrough partners capital accounts, another practice is alsofollowed without raising goodwill. In this case goodwill accountis raised in the books by crediting the value of goodwill to oldpartners capital accounts in old profit sharing ratio and thenwriting off the value of goodwill by debiting all partners capitalaccounts in the new profit sharing ratio.
(v) When the new partner brings a portion of the required
amount of goodwill
In this case, the amount brought in by the new partner willbe shared by the old partners in the sacrificing ratio and theportion of amount of goodwill not brought in by the new partneris adjusted through the capital accounts of partners by debitingnew partners capital account with the amount and creditingthe old partners capital accounts in their sacrificing ratio.
(2) At the time of Retirement/Death of a Partner
In the case of retirement of a partner, the continuingpartners will gain in terms of profit sharing ratio. Hence thecontinuing partners have to share the burden of the share ofgoodwill of the retiring par tner in the gaining ratio. In this case

5/20
C.S. FOUNDATION COURSE BULLETIN SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2003H 5
Pentium 1 D:\1.9.2003\C.S.Foundation\Sep-Oct\Sep\Oct.p65
the retiring partners capital account is credited with his shareof goodwill and the continuing partners capital account isdebited with the amount in the gaining ratio. Alternatively thetotal value of the goodwill is raised by debiting the goodwillaccount and crediting all the partners capital account in the
old profits sharing ratio. Then goodwill may be written bydebiting the capital accounts of the remaining partners in thenew ratio and crediting the goodwill account.
The net effect in the above cases is the same. The pointto be remembered is that in no case, goodwill account will beshown in the books of account. In case the goodwill account israised, it must be immediately written off.
Similarly in case of death of a partners, the continuingpartners should bear the share of goodwill due to the heirs ofthe deceased partner. The same accounting treatment as inthe case of retirement is to be followed on the death of a partner.
(3) Change in Profit Sharing Ratio
In case of change of profit sharing ratio, the value of
goodwill should be determined and adjusted through the capitalaccounts of the partners on the basis of their sacrificing ratio.Alternatively, goodwill is raised in the books of the firm bycrediting partners capital accounts in their old profit sharingratio and then immediately written off by debiting the partnerscapital account in the new profit sharing ratio.
(4) Amalgamation or Sale of Partnership Firm
When there is an amalgamation or sale of partnershipfirm to a company, the problem of recording goodwill wouldarise. If an existing partnership firm acquires another firm orbusiness of a sole trader and the purchase considerationexceeds the value of net assets required, the difference willbe shown as goodwill in the books of the purchasing firm. It isthen a case of purchased goodwill and not self-generated orinherent or raised goodwill.

economic development particulary in case of development andunderdevelopment economies because it helps to bridge thegap of saving and investment along with transfer of latesttechnical know-how and creation of employment opportunitiesto the unemployed masses. FDI basically refers to investment
in and control over the production, distribution and otheractivities of a firm in one country by individuals/businessesfrom another country. Foreign Direct Investment flows constitutecapital provided by foreign investors, directly or indirectly toenterprises in another economy.
During the nineties, foreign direct investment (FDI)accounted for an increasing share of private capital flows todeveloping countries. According to the World InvestmentReport 2002 (WIR02) published by United Nations Conferenceon Trade and Development (UNCTAD), developing countriesreceived 28 per cent of the world FDI inflows in 2001. GlobalFDI inflows have, however, declined by 51 per cent in 2001,which also affected the flow to developing countries. Developingcountries witnessed a 14 per cent decline in FDI inflows in 2001
to US $ 205 billion from US $ 238 billion in 2000. A few developingcountries like China and India, however, registered increasedFDI inflows in 2001, which is indicative of their attractiveness forinternational investment.
2. With the opening up of the Indian economy in the earlynineties, FDI inflows have shown a consistent growth, bringingin US $ 4 billion in 2001-02 as compared with US $ 129 millionin 1991-92. The up ward trend has been sustained during thefirst quarter of fiscal 2002-03 with FDI inflow of US $ 1.35 billion(Net of ADRs GDRs as against US $ 0.63 billion Net of ADRsGDRs ) in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001-02representing 106 percent growth. Several independent surveyshave rated India among the favourite destinations for FDI. The
WIR02 projects bright prospects for FDI in the Asia-Pacific regionover the next three to five years with China topping the list,followed by Indonesia and Thailand. Another survey ranks India,Malaysia and Singapore as favoured destinations. The WIR02,however, ranks India at 119th position in terms of Inward FDIPerformance Index, which is the ratio of a country's share inglobal FDI flows to its share in global GDP. This raises the issueof international comparability of cross-country data on FDI. Forexample, FDI data released by Reserve Bank of India (RBI)comprises equity and preference share capital only and do notinclude reinvested earnings and other direct capital flows, whichotherwise form part of FDI as per International Monetary Found(IMF) classification. As such, these data are not readily availableto strengthen the reporting arrangements in order to facilitate
proper international comparisons.Some of the factors that explain the recent spurt in FDI
inflows into India are:
l Progressive liberalisation of FDI policy has strengthenedinvestors' confidence- opening up of new sectors (integratedtownships, defence industry, tea plantations, etc.); removalof FDI caps in most sectors, including advertising, airports,private sector oil refining, drugs and pharmaceuticals, etc,;and greater degree of automaticity for investment.
l Liberalisation of foreign exchange regulations by way of
simplification of procedures for making inward and outwardremittances.
l Sectoral reforms, especially in sectors such as telecom,information technology and automobiles have made themattractive destination for FDI.
l Policy to allow foreign companies to set up wholly ownedsubsidiaries in India has enabled foreign companies toconvert their joint ventures into wholly owned subsidiaries.The percentage of FDI through merger and acquisition routehas increased to around 30 per cent (from around 10 percent in 1999), which is still much lower than the globalpercentage of 70-80 per cent.
l Public sector disinvestment has finally emerged as animportant means to promote FDI.
l Liberal policy towards Foreign Venture Capital Investment(FVCI) has given an impetus to investment in technologyand infrastructure projects.
l Various investment facilitation measures such as facility forelectronic filing of applications, online chat facility with theapplicants, online status on registration/ disposal ofapplications, dedicated e-mail facility for investment relatedqueries, etc., have also contributed substantially toimproving investors' confidence. On an average, about 2,000responses in a year are given to investors and potentialinvestors.
l Government has set up an interministerial Committee toexamine the extant procedures for investment approvalsand implementation of projects, and suggest measures tosimplify and expedite the process for both public and privateinvestment. The committee, which was set up in September2001, has submitted Part I of its report to the Government,which is under examination. A sub-Group of the Committeeis specifically looking into simplification of procedures
relating to private investment. The sub-Group will submit itsreport shortly.
l The Foreign Investment Implementation Authority (FIIA) hasbeen activated and now meets at regular intervals to reviewand resolve investment-related problems. A recent studyconducted by FICCI, FIIA acknowledges that it has emergedas a problem-solving platform.

practical oriented, a good scoring in this paper could havehelped the candidates to increase their total marks and passpercentage.
In Question No.1 though the given topics were commonin accounting parlance, candidates gave irrelevant answers toconvince the examiners. The terms such as business entityconcept, self-balancing ledgers etc. were narrated in vaguemanner. In Question No.2(a), candidates in general gavecorrect answers for the rectifying journal entries. But in part(b) regarding account current most of them were not clearabout the basic concept involved therein. Some candidateswrote about current account instead of account current. Byand large, Question No.3 pertaining to delcrederecommission
and the distinctive points of operating and finance lease werewell attempted. In Question No.4(a), many candidates failedto calculate the amount of discount to be borne by X regardingthe second bill which was discounted for Rs.40,500.

In Question No.5, candidates miserablyfailed to show the statement showing the distribution of cashunder maximum loss method in the dissolution of the firm.Calculation of the amount of additional depreciation was themain mistake in Question No.6.

in Question No.7. Many candidates made mistakes incalculating the amount of subscriptions as they had taken careof only for 150 members excluding 5 members who left theclub in October 2002. In Question No.8, majority of thecandidates failed to prepare the trading and profit and lossaccount and balance sheet. The working notes given were farfrom satisfactory.
This paper being practical oriented, candidates areadvised to work out as many practical questions as possibleto familiarise the various topics and its treatments inaccountancy. Proper format for journal entries and ledgeraccounts should be followed while answering the relevant

It was observed that due to lack of preparation, most ofthe candidates could not write well and secure only averagemarks. However, some candidates performed well and scored
good marks. Lack of conceptual clarity and the inability to solvethe problems correctly were the reasons noted for poorperformance.
In Question No.1 regarding short notes many candidateswrote lengthy and detailed answers without clearly discussingthe concepts involved. Even some candidates were confusedwith accounting concepts and accounting conventions. Inter-department transfers were described in the context of transferof employees from one department to another.

claim under loss of profit policy. Candidates performed well inQuestion No.3(a) and calculated the cost of goods sold andprofit.

By andlarge, Question No.4 was well attempted, but some candidatesmade mistakes in arriving at the amount of gross profit due tothe wrong treatment of goods taken for personal use. QuestionNo.5, admission in partnership was popular among thecandidates. Calculation of new profit sharing ratio and the shareof Rs capital were the areas in which candidates mademistakes.

in many cases. In Question No.6 on joint venture, manycandidates made mistakes in preparing joint venture accountwith Manish in the books of Bangar as they lacked knowledgein preparing the personal accounts of co-venturers. However,
