Calculate the amount of adjusted profit for the year ended 31 March 2021 for the purpose of valuation of Goodwill from the following information:

Profit for the year ended 31 March 2021: Rs. 80,000

On 1 July, 2020, a major plant repair was undertaken for Rs. 10,000 which was charged to Revenue. The said sum is to be capitalised for Goodwill valuation subject to adjustment of depreciation @ 10 % p.a. on reducing balance method.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Profit for year: 80,000. Add back: wrongly charged repair = 10,000. Less: Depreciation on 10,000 @ 10% for 9 months (July to March) = 10,000 x 10% x 9/12 = 750. Adjusted Profit = 80,000 + 10,000 - 750 = Rs. 89,250.
