31st March 2019 |
| Profit/(Loss) | 25,000 | 27,000 | 46,900 | 53,810 |
| Add: Capitalized the number of Repairs of Plant | 10,000 | |||
| Less: Depreciation @10% W.D.V | – 1,000 | – 900 | – 810 | |
| Less: Overvaluation of Closing Stock | – 1,000 | – 2,000 | ||

| Year |
Adjusted Profit A |
Weight |
Product (E = C * D) |
| 31st March 2016 | 20,000 | 1 | 20,000 |
| 31st March 2017 | 30,000 | 2 | 60,000 |
| 31st March, 2018 | 40,000 | 3 | 1,20,000 |
| 31st March, 2019 | 50,000 | 4 | 2,00,000 |

|
Average Profit |
= | Total Profit for past given years |
| Number of years |
| = | 4,00,000 | |
| 10 | ||
| = | 40,000 |
Number of years’ purchase = 4
| Goodwill | = | Weighted Average Profit X Number of years of purchase |
| Goodwill | = | 40,000X 3 |
