Detailed Solution & Explanation

To find the impact of the test of impairment on the Profit & Loss Account as on 31st March, 2023:
1. Carrying amount of the Machine on 1st April, 2021 (after refund) was 44,00,000\displaystyle `\,44,00,000.
2. Depreciation charged for 2021-22 and 2022-23 (at 4,87,500\displaystyle `\,4,87,500 per year):
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years=4,87,500×2=9,75,000\text{Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years} = `\,4,87,500 \times 2 = `\,9,75,0003. Carrying amount on 31st March, 2023 before impairment testing:
Carrying Amount=44,00,0009,75,000=34,25,000\text{Carrying Amount} = `\,44,00,000 - `\,9,75,000 = `\,34,25,0004. Recoverable amount is ascertained to be 28,00,000\displaystyle `\,28,00,000.
5. Under AS 28, Impairment Loss is calculated as:
Impairment Loss=Carrying AmountRecoverable Amount=34,25,00028,00,000=6,25,000\text{Impairment Loss} = \text{Carrying Amount} - \text{Recoverable Amount} = `\,34,25,000 - `\,28,00,000 = `\,6,25,000This impairment loss of 6,25,000\displaystyle `\,6,25,000 must be debited to the Profit & Loss Account.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
