Correct Answer: 1,88,000


Solution : Answer = 1,88,000

Calculation of Normal Profit:

Year-Ended Normal Profit/(Loss) (Rs.)

31st March, 2016 30,000
31st March, 2017 70,000
31st March, 2018 1,00,000
31st March, 2019 1,40,000
31st March, 2020 (1,05,000) (Loss) (Note)

Total Normal Profit 2,35,000

Average Profit = = Rs. 2,35,000/5 = Rs. 47,000

Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Year  Purchase = Rs. 47,000 × 4 = Rs. 1,88,000.

Calculation of Adjusted Loss for the year ended 31st March 2020:      Rs.

Loss for the year ended 31st March 2020                                    =  1,20,000

Less: Cost of Cycles wrongly debited to Profit and Loss A/c        =  (20,000)

                                                                                                      = 1,00,000

Add: Depreciation @ 25% p.a. on Rs. 20,000 (cycles)                =       5,000

Loss for the year                                                                           =  1,05,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.
