Working Notes:
WN1: Calculation of Goodwill
Average Profit = 10,000 + 20,000 + 30,000/3 = 60,000/3 = Rs. 20,000
Goodwill = Average Profits × Number of years’ purchase
= (20,000 × 1.5) – 12,000 = 30,000 – 12,000 = Rs. 18,000
WN 2:
Calculation of Z’s share of goodwill
Samir’s share of goodwill = 18,000 × 1/6 = Rs. 3,000
