Solution
Calculation of weighted average profit
| Year | Profit (₹) |
Weight | Amount (₹) |
| 2015 | 10,000 | 1 | 10,000 |
| 2016 | 12,000 | 2 | 24,000 |
| 2017 | 16,000 | 3 | 48,000 |
| 2018 | 18,000 | 4 | 72,000 |
| Total | 10 | 1,54,000 |
Weighted average profit = `"Total of weighted profits"/"Total of weights"`
= `154000/10`
= ₹ 15,400
Goodwill = Weighted average profit × No. of years purchase
= ₹ 15,400 × 3
= ₹ 46,200
