Working Notes

1. Calculation of Goodwill

Average Profit (3 years): (15,000 + 17,000 + 13,000) / 3 = 45,000 / 3 = ₹15,000

Firm's Goodwill: Average Profit × No. of years’ purchase = 15,000 × 2 = ₹30,000

Sujata’s Share in Goodwill (1/5): 30,000 × (1/5) = ₹6,000

2. Calculation of Profit till Date of Death (P&L Suspense A/c)

Sujata was a partner for 3 months (April, May, June).

Average Profit (2 years): (17,000 + 13,000) / 2 = 30,000 / 2 = ₹15,000

Firm's Profit for 3 months: 15,000 × (3 / 12) = ₹3,750

Sujata's Share in Profit (1/5): 3,750 × (1/5) = ₹750

3. Calculation of Interest on Capital

Interest is calculated on the opening capital for the period she was a partner (3 months).

Interest: Capital × Rate × Period = 20,000 × (10/100) × (3/12) = ₹500
