Question 26: Aayush and Aarushi are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3: 2. They admitted Naveen into partnership for 1/4th share. Goodwill of the firm was to be valued at three years' purchase of super profits. Average net profit of the firm was 20,000. Capital investment in the business was 50,000 and Normal Rate of Return was 10%. Calculate the amount of Goodwill premium brought by Naveen. (CBSE 2023)

Answer:

 Normal Profit = 50,000×10/100=5,000

Super Profit = 20,000-5,000

Super Profit = 15,000

Goodwill =15,000×3=45,000

Goodwill Premium brought by Naveen = 45,000×1/4 = 11,250

Working Notes:

WN 1: Calculation of Share of Goodwill of Z

Old ratio of X and Y = 5:3

Z is admitted for 3/10 share

Half (3/20) is gifted by X

Remaining 3/20 is taken equally from X and Y

Goodwill of firm = ₹54,000

Z's share of goodwill = 54,000 × 3/20 = ₹8,100

Profit for first year = ₹60,000

New ratio of X:Y:Z = 4:3:3

Sacrificing ratio between X and Y for goodwill adjustment = 1:1
(because the 3/20 sacrificed is equally split by X and Y)

 

WN 2: Distribute net profit of ₹60,000 in new ratio (4:3:3)

Total profit = ₹60,000
New ratio: X:Y:Z = 4:3:3

X’s share = 60,000 × 4/10 = ₹24,000

Y’s share = 60,000 × 3/10 = ₹18,000

Z’s share = 60,000 × 3/10 = ₹18,000
