Goodwill is to be valued two times of average normal profit of last four years. Find out goodwill.
| Average Profit | = | Total Profit for past given years |
| Number of years | ||
| = | (-10,000) + (-60,000) + 40,000 + 50,000 | |
| 4 | ||
| = | 20,000 | |
| 4 | ||
| = | 5,000 |
| Number of years’ purchase | = | 2 |
| Goodwill | = | Average Profit X Number of years’ purchase |
| Goodwill | = | 5,000 X 2 |
| Goodwill | = | 10,000 |
Working Note : -
*1 Calculation of Profits of last three years
| Adjusted Profit for 1st year | = | Total Profit −Interest on capital |
| = | 30,000 – 40,000 | |
| = | (-10,000) |
| Adjusted Profit for 2nd year | = | Total Profit – Claim for loss of asset |
| = | -(25,000) – 35,000 | |
| = | (-60,000) |
| Adjusted Profit for 3rd year | = | Total Profit − Interest on capital |
| = | 50,000 – 10,000 | |
| = | 40,000 |
| Adjusted Profit for 3rd year | = | Total Profit − Interest on capital |
| = | 40,000 + 10,000 | |
| = | 50,000 |
