Average profit is ₹24,000 and years’ purchase is 2. The new partner takes a 1/4 share. What is his share of goodwill?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹12,000

Under the average-profit method, the firm’s total goodwill is found by multiplying average profit by the agreed number of years’ purchase. Thus, total goodwill = ₹24,000 × 2 = ₹48,000. The question asks for the incoming partner’s share, not the total goodwill of the firm. Since that partner receives 1/4 of the profits, his goodwill share is ₹48,000 × 1/4 = ₹12,000. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is the firm’s total goodwill before dividing it among partners. Option C is only the average profit, and option D results from an incorrect division or use of the years’ purchase. The calculation separates total goodwill from the amount attributable to the new partner.
