Answer»

Calculation of Average profits

Profit for 2010 (Rs.50,000 – Rs.10,000)40,000
Profit for 2011 (Rs.55,000 – Rs.5,000) 50,000
Profit for 2012 (Rs.45,000 + Rs.5,000)50,000
Profit for 2013 (Rs.66,000 – Rs.6,000)60,000
Total profits for four years2,00,000

Average profit =(2,00,000/4) = 50,000

Goodwill at 3 Years’ purchase of Average profits = 50,000 x 3 = Rs.1,50,000
