Calculation of Weighted Average Profit
Year
Adjusted Profit (A) Weight (D)
Product (E = C * D)

2015 10,000 1 10,000
2016 20,000 2 40,000
 2017 30,000 3 90,000
2018 40,000 4 1,60,000
 2019 60,000 5 3,00,000
       
Total 15 6,00,000

 

Weighted Average Profit = Total weighted Profit 
    Total weight
     
  = 6,00,000
  15
     
  = 40,000

 

Number of years’ purchase = 2
Goodwill = Weighted Average Profit X Number of years’ purchase
Goodwill = 40,000 X 2
Goodwill = 80,000
