Annu, Baby and Chetan are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses equally. They decide to take Deep into partnership from 1st April, 2019 for 1/5th share in the future profits. For this purpose, goodwill is to be valued at 100% of the average annual profits of the previous three or four years, whichever is higher. The annual profits for the purpose of goodwill for the past four years were:


Year EndedProfit (₹)
31st March, 20192,88,000;
31st March, 20181,81,800;
31st March, 20171,87,200;
31st March, 20162,53,200.

Calculate the value of goodwill.​



Average Profits of Previous three years

= `\frac{2,88,000+1,81,8000+1,87,200}{3}`= Rs. 2,19,000

Average Profits of Previous four years

= `\frac{2,88,000+1,81,800+1,87,200+2,53,200}{4}`= Rs. 2,27,550

Since, 
   The average profits of previous four years is greater than the average profits of previous three years.

Hence, Goodwill = 100% of Average Profits of Previous four years = Rs. 2,27,550
