| Average Profit | = | Sum of Profits |
| No. of year | ||
| = | 90,000 + 1,00,000 + 1,10,000 | |
| 3 | ||
| = | Rs 1,00,000 |
Goodwill = Average profit X 2= Rs 1,00,000 X 2 =Rs 2,00,000
| Kavita’s Share of goodwill | = | 2,00,000 | X | 1 |
| 5 | ||||
| = | Rs 40,000 |
This share will be contributed by the remaining partner in their gaining ratio
Gaining Ratio of Leena and Monica = 1:3
| Leena’s Share of contribution | = | 40,000 | X | 1 |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 10,000 |
| Monica’s Share of contribution | = | 40,000 | X | 3 |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 30,000 |
** Sales in the year 2011-12 = 20,00,000
Profit for year 2011-12 = 2,00,000 = 10% of Sales
Therefore, Profit for the Period 1 Apr – 30 th Sep = 10% of Sales of the same period
Share of Profit to be divided = 10% of Rs 4,00,000 = Rs 40,000
Kavita’s Share of Profit = 1/5 th of Rs 40,000 = Rs 8,000
