Correct Answer: Rs.5,000


Solution : Average net profit = Rs.65,000
Remuneration = Rs.20,000
Average profit = Average net profit - Remuneration = Rs.65,000 - Rs.20,000 = Rs.45,000
Average capital employed = Rs.5,00,000
Normal rate of return = 8%
Normal profit = Average capital employed X Normal rate of return = Rs.5,00,000 X 8% = Rs.40,000
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit = Rs.45,000 - Rs.40,000 = Rs.5,000.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
