Question 1:
Goodwill is to be valued at three years' purchase of
four years' average profit. Profits for last four years ending on 31st March of
the firm were:
2021 − `
12,000; 2022 − `
18,000;2023 − `
16,000; 2024 − `
14,000.
Calculate amount of Goodwill.
Answer:
Goodwill=
Average profit × no. of purchases years’
Average profit = total profit of past given
years/number of years
Average profit
=12,000+18,000+16,000+14,000/4=15,000
Number of years’ purchase = 3
Goodwill= Average profit × no. of purchases
years’
Goodwill= 15,000 × 3=45,000
Question 2:
Profits for the five years ending on 31st March, are
as follows:
Year 2020 − `
4,00,000; Year 2021 − ` 3,98,000; Year 2022 − ` 4,50,000; Year 2023 − ` 4,45,000 and Year 2023 − ` 5,00,000.
Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 4 years' purchase of 5 years'
average profit.
Answer:
Goodwill=Average Profit×Number of Years' Purchase
Average Profits = Total Profit÷Number of Years
Average Profits =
4,00,000+3,98,000+4,50,000+4,45,000+5,00,000÷5
Average Profits =
21,93,000÷5= ` 4,38,600
Goodwill =4,38,600×4= ` 17,54,400

Calculate Goodwill of the firm after adjusting the following:
Profit of 2020-20 was calculated after charging 25,000 for abnormal loss of goods by fire.
Answer;
Goodwill= Average profit × no. of purchases years’
=Sum of normal
profit × no. of purchases years’/total
no. of years
=1,25,000+1,00,000+25,000+1,87,500+(62,500)+1,25,000/5×3
(purchases years’)
=3,00,000
Question 5: Madhu and Vidhi are partners sharing profts in the ratio of 3:2. They decided to admit Manu as a partner from 1st April, 2024 on the following terms

2020-Profit `1,10,000 (including a gain (profit) of 30,000 on the sale of fixed assets).
Calculate the value of goodwill.
Answer;
Goodwill= Average profit ×
no. of purchases years’
=Sum of three years Profit
× no. of purchases years’/Total no. of
years
=(first years profit+normal loss)+(Second
years loss+Retirement compensation)+(Third years’ profit – gain on sale of
fixed assets)×2year/3year
=(30,000+40,000)+(-80,000+1,10,000)+1,10,000-30,000)×2/3
=1,20,000
