What is the main purpose of adjusting past profits in goodwill valuation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To find correct normal earning

Past profits may contain abnormal gains, abnormal losses, non-recurring expenses, or income that will not continue. Goodwill is based on the business’s future maintainable earning capacity, so these unusual items must be removed or suitably adjusted before an average or super profit is calculated. The governing purpose is therefore to determine the correct normal or maintainable earning. Option A is correct. Closing the cash account is unrelated to profit normalization; changing partners’ names is a legal or administrative matter; and counting goods concerns inventory, not goodwill valuation. Proper adjustment makes the profit figure comparable and prevents goodwill from being overstated or understated.
