Working Note:-
Calculation of Goodwill brought in by Abhay:
| Average Profits | = | (Normal profits from 31st March, 2016 to 31st March, 2019)/2 |
| = | (25,000 + 10,000 + 2,500 + 2,500)/4 | |
| = | 10,000 | |
| Goodwill | = | Average Profits × No. of years of Purchase |
| = | (10,000 × 2) | |
| = | 20,000 | |
| Goodwill brought in by Abhay | = | (20,000 × 1/4 |
| = | 5,000 |
Calculation of Revaluation Profit/Loss:
| Debit side total | = | (3,000 + 4,000 + 2,500) |
| = | 9,500 | |
| Credit side total | = | 18,000 |
| Gain on Revaluation | = | (18,000 – 9,500) |
| = | 8,500 |
