Correct Answer: Profit shows a trend


Solution : Answer = Profit shows a trend

The weighted average profit method is applied when profits exhibit a consistent trend over a certain period. By averaging the profits over this period, a more stable representation of the company's earnings is obtained, providing a reliable basis for calculating goodwill that reflects the underlying performance of the business.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
