During 2014-15, there was abnormal loss of Rs.1,000 due to theft and in 2017-18 there was a profit from sale of land amounting to Rs.4,000. In 2015-16, closing stock was over valued by Rs.1,200. The weights are 1,2,3 and 4 for the year 2014-15,2015-16,2016-17 and 2017-18 respectively.

The solution of Question 09 Chapter 3 of +2 Part-1: – 

 

Calculation of Adjusted Profit
 
Particulars / Year Ended
2014-15 2015-16
2016-17
2017-18
Profit/(Loss) 5,000 5,200 9,300 10,700
Add: Abnormal Loss 1,000      
Less: Profit on sale of land       -4,000
Less: Overvaluation of Closing Stock   – 1,200    
Add: Overvaluation of Opening Stock     1,200  
         
Total 6,000 4,000 10,500 6,700

 

Calculation of Weighted Average Profit
Year
Adjusted Profit (A) Weight (D)
Product (E = C * D)
2014-15 6,000 1 6,000
2015-16 4,000 2 8,000
2016-17 10,500 3 31,500
2017-18 6,700 4 26,800
       
Total 10 72,300

 

Weighted Average Profit = Total weight Profit for past given years
Total weight
     
  = 72,300
  10
     
  = 7,230

 

Number of years’ purchase = 2
Goodwill = Weighted Average Profit X Number of years’ purchase
Goodwill = 7,230 X 3
Goodwill = 21,690
