Arun, Bharat and Neeraj are partners in firm sharing profits and losses equally. They decide to take Dheeraj into partnership from 1st April, 2023 for $\frac{1}{5}$th share in the future profits. For this purpose, goodwill is to be valued at 100% of the average Annual profits of the previous three or four years, whichever is higher. The Annual profits for the purpose of goodwill for the past four years were:
Year EndedProfit (₹)
31st March, 20232,88,000
31st March, 20221,81,800
31st March, 20211,87,200
31st March, 20202,53,200
Calculate the value of goodwill.
Answer
Average Profits of Previous three years = $\frac{2,88,000+1,81,800+1,87,200}{3}=\frac{6,57,000}{3}$ = ₹ 2,19,000
Average Profits of Previous Four years = $\frac{2,88,000+1,81,800+1,87,200+2,53,200}{4}=\frac{9,10,200}{4}$ = ₹ 2,27,550.
Since, the average profits of the previous four years is greater than the average profits of the previous three years.
Hence, Goodwill = ₹ 2,27,550.
