| Year Ended | 31st March 2015 | 31st March 2016 | 31st March 2017 | 31st March 2018 | 31st March 2019 |
| Profit/(Loss) | 90,000(Loss) | 1,60,000 | 1,50,000 | 65,000 | 1,77,000 |
Books of Account of the firm revealed that:
- The firm had gain profit of 50,000 from the sale of machinery sold in the year ended 31st March 2016. The gain profit was credited in the Profit and Loss Account.
- There was an abnormal loss of 20,000 incurred in the year ended 31st March 2017 because of a machine becoming obsolete in an accident.

Calculate the value of goodwill.
The solution of Question 12 Chapter 3 of +2-A:
| Average Profit | = | Total Profit for past given years |
| Number of years |
| Average Profit | = | (- 90,000)+1,10,000+1,70,000+1,50,000+1,60,000 |
| 5 |
| = | 5,00,000 | |
| 5 | ||
| = | 1,00,000 |
