Correct Answer: 1,20,000

 


Solution : Answer = Rs 1,20,000

CALCULATION OF NORMAL PROFIT

Year Adjustment (Rs.) Normal Profit (Rs.)

2013-14 50,000

2014-15 40,000 +10,000 (AbnormalLoss)= 50,000

2015-16 75,000

2016-17 (25,000)

2017-18 50,000

Total Normal Profit 2,00,000

Average Profit = Total Normal Profit/Number of Years = = Rs. 40,000

Goodwill = Average profit x no of years purchase

40,000x3 = RS 1,20,000.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
