Detailed Solution & Explanation

To calculate the interest to be capitalized and interest charged to P&L under AS 16:
1. Total interest accrued on the loan of 6,00,000\displaystyle `\,6,00,000 @ 10% for 8 months is:
Total Interest=6,00,000×10%×812=40,000\text{Total Interest} = `\,6,00,000 \times 10\% \times \frac{8}{12} = `\,40,0002. Portion of interest capitalized on the qualifying asset (calculated on the cost of raw material used of 1,87,500\displaystyle `\,1,87,500):
Capitalized Interest=1,87,500×10%×812=12,500\text{Capitalized Interest} = `\,1,87,500 \times 10\% \times \frac{8}{12} = `\,12,5003. Interest charged to the Profit & Loss Account is:
Interest in P&L=40,00012,500=27,500\text{Interest in P\&L} = `\,40,000 - `\,12,500 = `\,27,500
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
