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:
2016 −
 ` 12,000; 2017 −  ` 18,000; 2018 −  ` 16,000; 2019 −  ` 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 2015 −
 ` 4,00,000; Year 2016 −  ` 3,98,000; Year 2017 −  ` 4,50,000; Year 2018 −  ` 4,45,000 and Year 2019 −  ` 5,00,000.
Calculate goodwill of the firm on the basis of 4 years' purchase of 5 years' average profit.

Answer:

Goodwill=Average Profits×Number of Years' Purchase

Average Profits = Total ProfitsNumber of Years=4,00,000+3,98,000+4,50,000+4,45,000+5,00,0005=21,93,0005= ` 4,38,600

Goodwill =4,38,600×4= ` 17,54,400

15,00,000

18,00,000

4,00,000 (Loss)

13,00,000

Answer:

Goodwill= Average profit × no. of purchases years’

Average profit = total profit of past given years/number of years

Average profit =8,00,000+15,00,000+18,00,000-4,00,000 (Loss)+ 13,00,000/5=50,00,000

Average profit =50,00,000/510,00,000

 

Number of years’ purchase = 3

Goodwill= Average profit × no. of purchases years’

Goodwill= 10,00,000 × 3=30,00,000

 Average Profit for Five Years=56,500/4=14,125

Average Profit of four years is taken to compute the value of goodwill of the firm. This is because Average Profit of four years is more than the Average Profit of five years.

Goodwill= Average profit × no. of purchases years’

Goodwill= 14125 ×4 =56,500
