### Statement of Profit and Loss Preparation
4. **Calculate Depreciation:**
- Plant Depreciation = $$24,75,000 \times 0.15 = 3,71,250$$
- Furniture Depreciation = $$1,50,000 \times 0.10 = 15,000$$
- Total Depreciation = $$3,71,250 + 15,000 = 3,86,250$$
5. **Outstanding Debenture Interest:**
- Annual Interest = $$22,50,000 \times 0.12 = 2,70,000$$
- Half Year Interest Outstanding = $$\frac{2,70,000}{2} = 1,35,000$$
6. **Provision for Bad Debts:**
- Trade Receivables = ₹6,52,500
- Provision = $$6,52,500 \times 0.05 = 32,625$$
- Existing Provision = ₹26,250
- Additional Provision Needed = $$32,625 - 26,250 = 6,375$$
7. **Calculate Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):**
- Opening Stock = ₹5,62,500
- Purchases = ₹13,87,500
- Closing Stock = ₹7,57,500
- COGS = $$5,62,500 + 13,87,500 - 7,57,500 = 11,92,500$$
8. **Calculate Employee Benefit Expense:**
- Wages + Salaries = $$7,34,850 + 1,67,775 = 9,02,625$$
9. **Calculate Finance Cost:**
- Debenture Interest Paid + Outstanding Interest = $$1,35,000 + 1,35,000 = 2,70,000$$
10. **Calculate Other Expenses:**
- Bad Debts = ₹15,825
- Travelling Expenses = ₹3,750
- General Expenses = ₹51,262
- Total Other Expenses = $$15,825 + 3,750 + 51,262 = 70,837$$
11. **Calculate Profit Before Tax:**
- Sales = ₹31,12,500
- Less: COGS = ₹11,92,500
- Gross Profit = $$31,12,500 - 11,92,500 = 19,20,000$$
- Less: Expenses (Employee Benefit + Finance + Depreciation + Other) = $$9,02,625 + 2,70,000 + 3,86,250 + 70,837 = 16,29,712$$
- Profit Before Tax = $$19,20,000 - 16,29,712 = 2,90,288$$
12. **Income Tax @31%:**
- Tax = $$2,90,288 \times 0.31 = 89,989$$
13. **Profit After Tax:**
