Average profit is ₹15,000 and years' purchase is 4. If the new partner takes a 1/5 share, what is his goodwill share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹12,000

Under the average-profit method, total goodwill is calculated by multiplying average profit by the agreed number of years' purchase. Therefore, total goodwill = ₹15,000 × 4 = ₹60,000. The new partner is entitled to only a 1/5 interest in that goodwill, so his goodwill share or goodwill premium is ₹60,000 × 1/5 = ₹12,000. Hence option A is correct. Option B is the total goodwill before applying the new partner's fraction. Option C is merely the average profit, not the goodwill value, while option D results from an incorrect fraction or multiplication. The calculation assumes no further adjustment is specified.
