Valuation of goodwill is based on Future maintainable profit(FMP)

FMP = Profit (+/-) Àdjustments of Non recuring exp, Non recuring income, Unrecored expense, Income from investment.


Adjusted Profit(Future maintainable profit)
2012: 40000+6000-400-6000=39600
2013: 50000-4000-400-6000=39600
2014: 60000-400-6000-5000=48600

Avg Profit: (39600+39600+48600)/3 = 42600

Gw. = 42600×2 = 85200

Can you help me with the valuation of goodwill of a company? and the rate?

Is that IndAS, goodwill is impairment tested and written down to nil in final accounts using equity method. The above goodwill valuations like average profits, super profits, annuities, capitalisation methods are not mentioned. Maybe they do internal goodwill calculations. 

So according to the internal goodwill calculations goodwill does have some value on the balance sheet too?

No. Expenditure made to get internal goodwill is expensed because no one knows what amount benefits they can reap ie, there is no reliable meausrement and can't ifentify how they got profits from. For example, you spend money to develop business relationships, if your business grows, you cannot identify that the business grew because you spent money and you will not know how much amount u got as profits because of your expenditure. The above valuations can be used for Pvt company or partnerships 

What about public companies? Does the above example also apply to public companies?

Public companies are listed, so equity method is used
