Average profit is ₹84,000 and goodwill is valued at two years' purchase. The retiring partner's share is 5/14. What is his goodwill claim?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹60,000

This uses the average-profit method of goodwill valuation. First calculate the firm’s total goodwill: average profit × years’ purchase = ₹84,000×2=₹1,68,000. The retiring partner is entitled to 5/14 of that goodwill. Since ₹1,68,000÷14=₹12,000, his claim is ₹12,000×5=₹60,000. Therefore option C is correct. Option B is only one-half of the total goodwill and does not use the partner’s 5/14 share. Option D is the average profit before applying the two-year factor, while option A does not follow from the stated fraction. The calculation assumes the question asks only for the goodwill claim and does not include capital, reserves, revaluation or other settlement items.
