Option 1: 1,88,000
Option 2: 1,08,000
Option 3: 2,00,000
Option 4: 3,20,000

Calculation of Normal Profit:
Year-Ended Normal Profit/(Loss) (Rs.)
Total Normal Profit 2,35,000
Average Profit = = Rs. 2,35,000/5 = Rs. 47,000
Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Year Purchase = Rs. 47,000 × 4 = Rs. 1,88,000.
Calculation of Adjusted Loss for the year ended 31st March 2020: Rs.
Loss for the year ended 31st March 2020 = 1,20,000
Less: Cost of Cycles wrongly debited to Profit and Loss A/c = (20,000)
= 1,00,000
Add: Depreciation @ 25% p.a. on Rs. 20,000 (cycles) = 5,000
Loss for the year = 1,05,000 Hence, the correct option is 1.
