Q.No.11 | Chapter 3 – Goodwill: Nature and Valuation | T.S. Grewal 12 Class Book Keeping Part - A - Vol. 1

1. Abnormal loss of 20,000 was debited to Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 31st March 2016.
2. A fixed asset was sold in the year ended 31st March 2017 and gain profit of 25,000 was credited to Profit and Loss Account.
3. In the year ended 31st March 2018 assets of the firm were not insured due to oversight. Insurance premium not paid was 15,000.
   Calculate the value of goodwill.

The solution of Question 11 Chapter 3 of +2-A:

Average Profit	=	Total Profit for past given years
		Number of years

Average Profit	=	1,00,000+1,20,000+1,45,000+2,00,000
		4

 

=	5,65,000
	4
=	1,41,250

Number of years’ purchase = 2

Goodwill	=	Average Profit X Number of years’ purchase
Goodwill	=	1,41,250 X 2
Goodwill	=	2,82,500

Working Note: -

*1 Calculation of Adjusted Profit

Adjusted profit for the year 31st March 2016:	=	Total Profit + Abnormal loss
	=	80,000 + 20,000
	=	1,00,000
Adjusted profit for the year 31st March 2017:	=	Total Profit– Gain on Sale of Fixed Assets
	=	1,45,000 - 25,000
	=	1,20,000
Adjusted profit for the year ended 31st March 2018	=	Total Profit– Insurance premium not paid
	=	1,60,000 - 15,000
	=	1,45,000
