Working Note:

*Calculation of Goodwill

On the basis of 2 yrs purchase of average 3 years profit



** Sales in the year 2011-12 = 20,00,000

Profit for year 2011-12 = 2,00,000 = 10% of Sales.

Therefore, Profit for the Period 1 Apr – 30th Sep = 10% of Sales of the same period

Share of Profit to be divided = 10% of Rs 4,00,000 = Rs 40,000

Kavita’s Share of Profit = 1/5th of Rs 40,000 = Rs 8,000
