Marking-scheme solution
(a)
Goodwill= Average Profits x Number of years purchase
Average Profits= [₹$\displaystyle 2,50,000$ + ₹$\displaystyle 4,00,000$ + ₹$\displaystyle 3,00,000$ + (₹$\displaystyle 3,10,000$) + (₹$\displaystyle 2,00,000$)]/ $\displaystyle 5$
Average Profits= ₹$\displaystyle 4,40,000$/$\displaystyle 5$
ð
ð Average Profits= ₹$\displaystyle 88,000$
Goodwill = ₹$\displaystyle 88,000$ x $\displaystyle 3$
ð Goodwill = ₹$\displaystyle 2,64,000$
