Solution

Years (ending 31st March Adjusted Profit (₹) Weights Product (₹)
2020 28,000 1 28,000
2021 36,000 1 36,000
2022 46,000 2 92,000
2023 53,000 3 1,59,000
Total   7 3,15,000

 

Adjusted Profits 2020 2021 2022 2023
Given Profits 28,000 27,000 46,900 53810
Add: Capital Expenditure Charged to Revenue   10,000    
Less: Unprovided Depreciation   (1,000) (900) (810)
Adjusted Profits 28,000 36,000 46,000 53,000

Weighted Average Profit = `(3,15,000)/7`

= ₹ 45,000

Goodwill = 45,000 × 3 = ₹ 1,35,000

Notes to Solution:

  1. Depreciation of 2021 = 10% of 10,000
    = 10,000 × `10/100` = ₹ 1,000
  2. Depreciation of 2022 = 10% of 9000
    = 9,000 × `10/100` = ₹ 900
  3. Depreciation of 2022 = 10% of 8,100
    = ₹ 8,100
