GIVEN: Profit 2018-2019 = 23,000. Profit of 2019-2020= 40,000. Profit 2020-2021= 38,000
TO FIND: Goodwill
SOLUTION:
To find the average profit for the last three years, firstly we need to deduct the abnormal losses.
Profit of 2012-2019 after deducting abnormal loss= of 23,000 - 8,000
= 15,000
Profit of 2019-2020 after deducting abnormal loss= of 40,000 - 12,000
= 28,000
Profit of 2020-221 after deducting abnormal loss= of 38,000
Average Profit = [tex]\frac{Total profit of the years}{Number of years}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15000+28000+38000}{3}[/tex]
= 27,000
Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of purchase year
= 27000 × 2
= 54,000
54,000 is the goodwill.
