View full question & answer→Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Years' purchase$\text{Average profit}=\frac{\text{Total Profit}}{\text{Number of Years}}$
$=\frac{4,00,000+3,98,000+4,50,000+4,45,000+5,00,000}{5}$
$=\frac{21,93,000}{5}=₹\ 4,38,600$
Goodwill = 4,38,600 × 4 = ₹ 17,54,400
$=\frac{4,00,000+3,98,000+4,50,000+4,45,000+5,00,000}{5}$
$=\frac{21,93,000}{5}=₹\ 4,38,600$
Goodwill = 4,38,600 × 4 = ₹ 17,54,400

Average Actual Profit after Remuneration $=\frac{70,000+1,00,000+130,000}{3}=\frac{3,00,000}{3}$= ₹ 1,00,000
