WN-1 Calculation of goodwill

The average profits of the last three years were ` 55,000

Goodwill of the Firm = ` 55,000×2=1,10,000

Share of Sadhu is in Goodwill = 1,10,000 × 4/10 = 44,000

Goodwill Share of Sadhu is in Goodwill will be compensated by Raja and Karan in 2:4

Raja = 44,000 × 2/6 = 14,667
