Correct Answer: Rs 1,15,000


Solution : Answer = Rs 1,15,000

CALCULATION OF NORMAL PROFIT

Year Ended      Profìt/(Loss) (Rs.)   Adjustments (Rs.)  Normal Profit (Rs.)
31st March, 2016  70,000 (10,000) 60,000
31st March, 2017 1,00,000 20,000 1,20,000
31st March, 2018 (55,000) (45,000) (1,00,000)
31st March, 2019 1,44,000 6,000 1,50,000
     

 Total Normal profit 2,30,000

Average Profit = Rs. 2,30,000/4 = Rs. 57,500

Value of Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Years' Purchase = Rs. 57,500 × 2 = Rs. 1,15,000

*Adjustments:

1. Repair expenses that should have been debited to Profit and Loss Account Rs. as an expense but accounted as capital expenditure. Loss to increase by Rs. 50,000. (50,000)

2. Depreciation wrongly debited to the Profit and Loss Account for the Year ended 31st March 2018 (Rs. 50,000 × 12/100 × 10/12). 5,000

Adjustment to be made in profit for the year ended 31st March 2018 (45,000)

3. Adjustments to be made for depreciation for the year ended 31st March 2019 (12% of Rs. 50,000) is  6,000.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
