If an examination question specifies the capitalization method for goodwill but a student applies the average profit method, what is the main error?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The specified method was not followed

The governing concept is method selection in goodwill valuation. The capitalization method and the average profit method are different techniques: capitalization may capitalize average or maintainable profit, whereas the average profit method applies an agreed number of years' purchase to average profit. They can produce different values because their formulas and assumptions differ. Therefore, using the average profit method when the question specifically requires capitalization is a failure to follow the stated instruction, making option A correct. It is not automatically easier, does not guarantee the same goodwill, and does not eliminate the need to understand normal or maintainable profit.
