12 March 2013Problem in calculation of future maintainable profit.
How to charge all transaction like (increase in directors remunaration , additional depreciation,change in current assets ) when past 2 or more year profits are given to calculat future maintainable profit.
In some sums.. they charged above effect before average or weighted average and vice versa.
Very confused. Please help...

See shivang the issue is very simple, you have to carefully observe the trend of profits on which the valuation assignment is based, of the profits show an increasing or decreasing trend, than this shows that profits have been moving in a particular direction and therefore weights are to be given for calculating the Profit which the business may be able to reap if carried on in future, however if these trends are not appearing in profits, than you have to calculate just Simple average of profits, and this thing largely depends on fact of the case. Pl clarify for further doubts

it is not a prudent advise to calculate these elements before calculating (simple/weighted) average of profits, because we would not be having any base for future available profits, and future increased/decreased expenses/incomes.. Are there any such sum in any material of Institute or Practise manual, if yes pls let me knw...
