20. Mahesh and Suresh are partners and they admit Naresh into partnership. They agreed to value goodwill at three years’ purchase on the Weighted Average Profit Method taking profits for the last five years. They assigned weights from 1 to 5 beginning from the earliest year and onwards. The profits for the last five years were as follows:

Year2015-162016-172017-18 2018-19
Profit1,01,000  1,24,000 1,00,000 1,40,000  
Weights 1234

On a scrutiny of the accounts, the following matters are revealed:

  1. On 1st December 2017, a major repair was made in respect of the plant incurring 30,000 which was charged to revenue. The said sum is agreed to be capitalised for goodwill calculation subject to adjustment of depreciation of 10% p.a. on Reducing Balance Method.
  2. The closing stock for the year 2016-17 was overvalued by 12,000.
  3. To cover management cost, an annual charge of 24,000 should be made for the purpose of goodwill valuation.
    On 1st April, 2016, a machine having a book value of 10,000 was sold for 11,000 but the proceeds were wrongly credited to Profit and Loss Account. No effect has been given to rectify the same. Depreciation is charged on machine @ 10% p.a. on reducing balance method.
