The deceased partner's share is one sixth. Average profit is ₹72,000 and goodwill is valued at two and a half years' purchase. What will be the deceased partner's claim?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹30,000

The governing concept is goodwill valuation by the average-profit method. Total goodwill is calculated as average profit multiplied by the number of years’ purchase: ₹72,000 × 2.5 = ₹1,80,000. The deceased partner is entitled to one-sixth of the firm’s goodwill, so the goodwill claim is ₹1,80,000 × 1/6 = ₹30,000. Therefore, option C is correct. Option A is only one-sixth of the average profit and ignores the two-and-a-half-year factor. Option B does not apply the stated fraction correctly, while option D is simply the average profit and is not the deceased partner’s goodwill claim. The calculation concerns goodwill entitlement, not the complete final amount due under every possible account adjustment.
