This document discusses methods for valuing goodwill, an intangible asset representing a business's reputation and future earning potential. It describes two methods: the average profit method and super profit method. The average profit method calculates goodwill based on the average profits of past years. It involves determining total profits, calculating the average profit, adjusting for any profit items, and multiplying the adjusted average profit by the number of purchase years. The super profit method calculates goodwill based on any extra "super profits" above what similar businesses earn.

3. Average Profit Method
Step 1: Calculation of Total Profit
Meaning: Total Profit is the sum of last years profit as
given in the problem.
Formula:
Total Profit = (Year 1 Profit) + (Year 2 Profit) + (Year 3 Profit) ( … + … )
E.g.
Profit earned by business in past
2017 - Rs. 15000, 2018 - Rs. 20000, 2019 - Rs. 30000
Total Profit will be:
15000+20000+30000=65000CR ACCOUNTANCY CLASSES - 9404300246

4. Average Profit Method
Step 2: Calculation of Average Profit
Meaning: Average profit is the average
of the past years profit.
Formula:
Average Profit = Total Profit / Number of years
E.g.
Total Profit (as stated in previous slide)
Here, Average Profit will be
= 65000 / 3 = 21666.70CR ACCOUNTANCY CLASSES - 9404300246

5. Average Profit Method
Step 3: Calculation of Adjusted Average Profit
Meaning: If any adjustment is there towards profit in any year then we
have to adjust that portion of profit against average profit and the result
will be called as adjusted average profit. It is not necessary to adjust
average profit all the time.
Formula:
Adjusted Average Profit = Average Profit + / - Adjusted Item
E.g. If profit for 2019 was overcastted by Rs. 5000/- then we
have to deduct Rs. 5000 from average profit and the
remaining will be called as adjusted average profit.
Here adjusted average profit will be :
Average Profit – Overcastting amount of profit
21667-5000=16667

6. Average Profit Method
Step 4: Calculation of Goodwill
Meaning: It is the reputation of business in terms of amount.
Formula:
Goodwill = Average Profit X Number of year purchase*
*number of year purchase means the years in which same performance
which is expected from the business in future years
E.g.
If number of year purchase is 3 years then goodwill will be:
16667 X 3 50000/-
