Do we have to consider "Goodwill Purchased" in computation of Capital Employed for Calculating Goodwill.

Ya because capital employed =fixed assets + working capital so according to it we have to consider it as fixed assets.

Theoretically, If Capital Employed is being calculated for the purpose of valuation of Goodwill then it will not include Goodwill. This is because we require market value of Goodwill in capital employed & that i.s what we are calculating However, if Capital Employed is being calculated for the purpose of valuation of Shares ( NAV ) then it will include Goodwill.

In my reference book, Goodwill is to be valued for business valuation. In Balancesheet Question- has purchased Goodwill, & it is considered in Calculating Goodwill by Super profits method.

Is it right because business is getting valued.?
