Solution!!
Observe the question carefully. The outside liabilities are not given so they're assumed to be nil. Therefore, capital employed equals total assets.
Goodwill = Super Profit × Number of years' purchase
60,000 = Super Profit × 4
Super Profit = Rs 15,000
Normal Profit = Capital Employed × Normal Rate of Return/100
Normal Profit = 75,000 × 10/100
Normal Profit = Rs 7,500
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit
15,000 = Average Profit - 7,500
Average Profit = 15,000 + 7,500
Average Profit = Rs 22,500
