Solution

The correct option is C Rs.1,89,000
Calculation of goodwill:
1. Average profit = Total profit/ No. of years
Average profit = Rs. (60000 + 67500 + 52500 + 75000 + 60000)/ 5
Average profit = Rs. 315000/ 5
Average profit = Rs. 63000
2. Goodwill = Average profit * No. of years purchase
Goodwill = Rs. 63000 * 3
Goodwill = Rs. 189000
