The profits of the last three years were: 2017-10 ₹52,000; 2016-09 ₹32,000; 2015-08 ₹28,000. However, on a checking of the past records, it was noticed that on 1.4.2016 a new furniture costing ₹8,000 was purchased but wrongly debited to revenue, and in 2017-10 a purchase invoice for ₹4,000 dated 25.3.2018 has been omitted in the books. The firm charges depreciation on Furniture @ 10% p.a. on original cost. Your calculation of goodwill is to be made on the basis of correct profits.
