Profits for the last three years are ₹30,000, ₹50,000 and ₹70,000, with weights 1:2:3. If years’ purchase are 2, what is goodwill by the weighted average profit method?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹1,13,333.33

Under the weighted-average-profit method, each year’s profit is multiplied by its assigned weight, the weighted total is divided by the total weights, and the resulting average is multiplied by the years’ purchase. Weighted total = (₹30,000 × 1) + (₹50,000 × 2) + (₹70,000 × 3) = ₹30,000 + ₹1,00,000 + ₹2,10,000 = ₹3,40,000. Total weights = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Weighted average profit = ₹3,40,000 ÷ 6 = ₹56,666.67. Goodwill = ₹56,666.67 × 2 = ₹1,13,333.33. Hence option A is correct. The other choices arise from using an unweighted or incorrect average, omitting the years-purchase multiplier, or applying an unsupported figure.
