Q.24. Mohan Lal and Sohan Lal were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in 3:2 ratio. They admitted Ram Lal for 1/4 share on 1.1.2013. It was agreed that goodwill of the firm will be valued at 3 years purchase of the average profits of last 4 years which were Rs. 50,000 for 2013, Rs. 60,000 for 2014, Rs. 90,000 for 2015 and Rs. 70,000 for 2016. Ram Lal did not bring his share of goodwill premium in cash. Record the necessary journal entries in the books of the firm on Ram Lal’s admission when:

(a) Goodwill already appears in the books at Rs. 2,02,500. 

(b) Goodwill appears in the books at Rs. 2,500.

(c) Goodwill appears in the books at Rs. 2,05,000.

SOLUTION

Calculation of Average profit:

YearProfit
201350,000
201460,000
201590,000
201570,000
Total profit of four years2,70,000

Average profit=Rs 2,70,000/4

=Rs 67,500

Goodwill = Average profit X No.of years purchase

= Rs 67,500 X 3

= Rs 2,02,500

There for the firm’s goodwill is Rs 2,02,500

Ram lal’s share of Goodwill = Firm’s Goodwill X Ram lal’s share of profit in the firm

= Rs 2,02,500 X 1/4

= Rs 50,625
