Working Notes:
(i) Valuation of Goodwill:
Average Profit = (13000+17000+15000) ÷ 3 = 45000 ÷ 3 = Rs. 15000
Goodwill = Average Profit × No. of years’ purchase
Goodwill = 15000 × 2 = Rs. 30,000
Sujata’s Share in Goodwill  = Value of firm’s Goodwill × Sujata’s share in profit
Sujata’s Share in Goodwill = 30000 × (1/5) = Rs. 6000.

Working Profit:
Profit till the date of death of Sujata =  Average Profit of 2 years × Period
Profit till the date of death of Sujata = [(13000 + 17000) ÷ 2 ] [3months ÷ 12 months] = Rs. 3750/-

Sujata’s share in profit = (Firm’s Profit) × Sujata’s Share in profit = 3750 × (1/5) = Rs. 750
