To compute the value of goodwill on the basis of 3 years' purchase of super profits, we need to follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the normal profit**:

- The capital employed by the firm is ₹6,00,000.

- The rate of return if the money was invested in the bank is 10% per annum.

- Normal profit = Capital employed × Rate of return

\[

\text{Normal profit} = ₹6,00,000 \times 10\% = ₹60,000

\]

2. **Calculate the adjusted actual profit**:

- The annual profit of the firm is ₹1,20,000 including ₹19,200 received as compensation.

- Since compensation is a one-time receipt, it should be excluded from the profit calculation for normal operations.

\[

\text{Adjusted actual profit} = ₹1,20,000 - ₹19,200 = ₹1,00,800

\]

3. **Calculate the fair return including compensation for risk**:

- The fair return includes an additional 2% compensation for the risk involved in the firm.

- Total fair return = Normal profit + Risk compensation

\[

\text{Risk compensation} = ₹6,00,000 \times 2\% = ₹12,000

\]

\[

\text{Fair return} = ₹60,000 + ₹12,000 = ₹72,000

\]

4. **Calculate the super profit**:

- Super profit is the difference between the adjusted actual profit and the fair return.

\[

\text{Super profit} = \text{Adjusted actual profit} - \text{Fair return}

\]

\[

\text{Super profit} = ₹1,00,800 - ₹72,000 = ₹28,800

\]

5. **Calculate the value of goodwill**:

- Goodwill is calculated as the super profit multiplied by the number of years' purchase.

\[

\text{Value of goodwill} = \text{Super profit} \times \text{Number of years' purchase}

\]

\[

\text{Value of goodwill} = ₹28,800 \times 3 = ₹86,400

\]

Therefore, the value of goodwill on the basis of 3 years' purchase of super profits is **₹86,400**.
