While valuing goodwill by the average profit method, what will be the effect if abnormal gain is not deducted from the average profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Goodwill will be overvalued

Abnormal gain is not part of the business’s normal recurring earnings, so it must be deducted while calculating average profit. If it is not deducted, average profit will be overstated, and goodwill calculated by capitalising or multiplying average profit will also be overvalued. Option B is incorrect because the omission increases, rather than decreases, the reported profit. Exam tip: deduct abnormal gains and add abnormal losses while determining maintainable average profit.
