Less: Charge for Management Cost	9,600	9,600	9,600	9,600
	50,800	60,000	50,400	52,000
Add: Capital expenditure charged revenue	–	–	–	–
	50,800	60,000	62,400	52,000

Calculation of Weighted Average Profit

Year	Profit	Weight	Product
31st March 2015	50,800	1	50,800
2016	55,200	2	1,10,400
2017	66,800	3	2,00,400
2018	50,840	4	2,03,360
		10	5,64,960

Weighted Average Profit	=	5,64,960
		10

Goodwill at 2 years’ purchase= 56,496 x 2= Rs. 1,12,992

Working Notes:
1. Depreciation for the year ending 31st March, 2017 = 10% of Rs. 12,000 for 4 months
12,000×10/100×4/12= Rs. 400
2. Depreciation for the year ending 31st March, 2018 = 10% of Rs. 11,600 (i.e., 12,000-500)
11,600×10/100 = Rs. 1,160.
3. Closing Stock of 2016 automatically becomes the Opening Stock of 2017.
