If abnormal loss is not added back while calculating maintainable profit, what will be the effect on goodwill?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Goodwill will be undervalued

The governing concept is the adjustment of historical profit to determine maintainable profit. An abnormal loss is not expected to recur under normal operations. It has reduced the reported profit temporarily, so it should be added back before finding average or maintainable profit. If the student fails to add it back, the adjusted profit remains understated. Since goodwill is commonly related to maintainable profit or super profit, the lower profit produces a lower goodwill figure. Therefore option A is correct. B gives the opposite effect, while C and D have no logical connection with the omitted adjustment.
