Working Notes:
Calculation of Goodwill
Advertisement-X
Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Year’s Purchase
| Average Profit | = | 24,000 + 16,000 + 20,000 + 10,000 + 5,000 |
| 5 | ||
| = | Rs 15,000 |
∴ Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Years’ Purchase
=15,000 × 3 = Rs 45,000
Adjustment of Goodwill
Old Ratio = 3 : 2 : 1
Z died.
∴ New Ratio X and Y = 3 : 1
Gaining Ratio = 3 : 2
| Z’s Share in Goodwill | = | 45,000 | X | 1 |
| 6 | ||||
| = | Rs 7,500 |
This share of goodwill is to be distributed between X and Y in their gaining ratio i.e. 3 : 1.
| X’s Share in Goodwill | = | 7,500 | X | 3 |
| 5 | ||||
| = | Rs 4,500 |
| Y’s Share in Goodwill | = | 7,500 | X | 2 |
| 5 | ||||
| = | Rs 3,000 |
Calculation Z’s Share of Prof
Profit for 2017-18 Immediate Previous Year = Rs 24,000
| ∴ Z’s Profit Share | = | 24,000 | X | 1 | X | 4 |
| 6 | 12 | |||||
| = | Rs 1,333 |
