Question:

A firm's profit for the last three years are ₹100,000, ₹2,00,000 and ₹3,00,000. What is the value of Goodwill, if it is calculated on the basis of four year's purchase of the average profits of the last 3 years?

Options:

₹10,00,000

₹8,00,000

₹4,00,000

₹3,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹8,00,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹8,00,000

Total Profit = 1,00,000 + 2,00,000 + 3,00,000
                  = 6,00,000

Average Profit = Total profit / no of years
                       = 6,00,000/3
                       = 2,00,000

Goodwill = Average Profit × No of years purchase
Goodwill = 2,00,000 × 4
              = 8,00,000
