Solution

To calculate the amount of Goodwill of the firm, we first need to calculate the total capital of the firm after Z's admission.

Step 1: Calculate the total capital of X and Y before Z's admission. X's capital = 2,40,000 Y's capital = 1,60,000 Total capital of X and Y = 2,40,000 + 1,60,000 = ` 4,00,000

Step 2: Add the balance of General Reserve and revaluation gain to the total capital. General Reserve = 65,000 Revaluation gain = 85,000 Total capital after adding General Reserve and revaluation gain = 4,00,000 + 65,000 + 85,000 = 5,50,000

Step 3: Calculate the total capital of the firm after Z's admission. Z's capital = 1,80,000 Total capital of the firm after Z's admission = 5,50,000 + 1,80,000 = 7,30,000

Step 4: Calculate Z's share of the total capital. Z's share = 1/5 * 7,30,000 = 1,46,000

Step 5: Calculate the amount of Goodwill of the firm. Goodwill = Z's capital - Z's share of the total capital Goodwill = 1,80,000 - 1,46,000 = ` 34,000

So, the amount of Goodwill of the firm is ` 34,000.
