To prepare the Profit and Loss account for HK Traders at the end of December 2023, we need to segregate and calculate the total income and total expenses from the given particulars. After this, we can determine the net profit or loss.

Let's list out and categorize all the given particulars, dividing them into incomes and expenses.

### Incomes:
1. Discount Received: Rs. 50,000
2. Dividend Received: Rs. 60,000

### Expenses:
1. Gross Loss: Rs. 3,50,000
2. Salaries: Rs. 90,000
3. Office Expenses: Rs. 70,000
4. Carriage Outward: Rs. 55,000
5. Bad Debts: Rs. 20,000
6. Selling Expenses: Rs. 25,000

### Calculating Total Income:
```
Total Income = Discount Received + Dividend Received
= Rs. 50,000 + Rs. 60,000
= Rs. 1,10,000
```

### Calculating Total Expenses:
```
Total Expenses = Gross Loss + Salaries + Office Expenses + Carriage Outward + Bad Debts + Selling Expenses
= Rs. 3,50,000 + Rs. 90,000 + Rs. 70,000 + Rs. 55,000 + Rs. 20,000 + Rs. 25,000
= Rs. 6,10,000
```

### Calculating Net Profit/Loss:
```
Net Profit/Loss = Total Income - Total Expenses
= Rs. 1,10,000 - Rs. 6,10,000
= Rs. -5,00,000
```

Thus, HK Traders have incurred a net loss of Rs. 5,00,000 at the end of December 2023. Now, let's present the Profit and Loss account in a formal layout.
