Weighted average profit is ₹64,000 and years’ purchase are 2.5. The new partner takes a 1/8 share. What is his goodwill premium?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹20,000

The governing concept is goodwill valuation under the years’ purchase method during admission of a partner. First calculate the firm’s total goodwill: Total Goodwill = Weighted Average Profit × Years’ Purchase = ₹64,000 × 2.5 = ₹1,60,000. The incoming partner does not contribute the entire goodwill; he contributes only the value of the share acquired. Therefore, his goodwill premium is ₹1,60,000 × 1/8 = ₹20,000. Option A is correct. Option B is the total goodwill of the firm, not the incoming partner’s premium. Option C results from an incomplete calculation that ignores years’ purchase, while option D is merely the weighted average profit and has no direct role as the final premium.
