1st year profit- ₹1,00,000
2nd year profit- ₹2,00,000
3rd year profit was the one and half times of the profit of the 2nd year.

Options:

₹2,50,000

₹2,00,000

₹3,00,000

₹3,50,000

Correct Answer:

₹3,00,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹3,00,000.

1st year profit- ₹1,00,000
2nd year profit- ₹2,00,000
3rd year profit was the one and half times of the profit of the 2nd year.
3rd year profit = 2,00,000 x 1.5
                        = 3,00,000

Average profit = (1,00,000 + 2,00,000 + 3,00,000)/ 3
                       = 6,00,000/3
                       = ₹2,00,000

Goodwill = Average profit x no of years purchase
              = 2,00,000 x 1.5
              = ₹3,00,000
