Average Profit = ₹ 50,000 (given)
Normal Profit = Capital Employed $\times \frac{\text { Normal Rate of Return }}{100}$
= 3,00,000 $\times \frac{10}{100}=$ ₹ 30,000
Super Profit = Average Profit - Normal Profit
Super Profit = 50,000 - 30,000 = ₹ 20,000.
= 20,000 $\times$ 3 = ₹ 60,000

$=20,000 \times \frac{100}{10}=$ ₹ 2,00,000
