Meaning, Nature, and Features of Goodwill

  • Goodwill is the good name, reputation, or wide business connections earned by a business through hard work and honesty.
  • Goodwill enables a firm to earn super profit, that is, profit above the normal profit earned by similar firms.
  • Goodwill is intangible and cannot be seen or touched, but it can be felt.

Factors Affecting Goodwill and Need for Valuation

Super Profit Method
