Normal Profit (2017) = (Total Profits) - (Profit On Sale of Assets)
= Rs. (50,000 - 5,000)
= Rs. 45,000.
Normal Profits (2018) = (Loss by Fire) - (Total Loss)
= Rs. (35,000) - (20,000)
= Rs. 15,000
Normal Profits (2019) = (Total Profit - Insurance Claim Received - Dividend Received)
= Rs. (70,000 - 18,000 - 8,000)
= Rs. 44,000
| Year | Normal Profits (Rs.) | Weights | Weighted Profits (Rs.) |
| 2017 | 45,000 | 1 | 45,000 |
| 2018 | 15,000 | 2 | 30,000 |
| 2019 | 44,000 | 3 | 1,32,000 |
| Total | 6 | 2,07,000 |
Weight Average Profit = `["Total of Weight Profits"]/"Total of Weights"`
= `frac\{2,07,000}{6}`
= Rs. 34,500
Goodwill = Average Profits of last years `\times` No. of years Purchase
Goodwill = Rs. 34,500 `\times` 2
= Rs. 69,000.
Ramesh's Share of Goodwill = Goodwill x Ramesh Share
= Rs. (69,000 x `1/4`)
= Rs. 17,250
= `frac\{2,07,000}{6}`
= Rs. 34,500
Goodwill = Average Profits of last years `\times` No. of years Purchase
Goodwill = Rs. 34,500 `\times` 2
= Rs. 69,000.
Ramesh's Share of Goodwill = Goodwill x Ramesh Share
= Rs. (69,000 x `1/4`)
= Rs. 17,250
