The Process A account made by Mr. Q is wrong because he has wrongly absorbed Factory overhead.
Mr. R is right about the treatment of abnormal and normal loss.
normal wastage
This means the usual percentage of wastage arising in its natural course in a process or operation. Such
wastage is not avoidable as it occurs in its natural course. The normal wastage and loss due to it should
be charged to the good units arising out of the process. In this way, the cost of spoiled and lost units is
absorbed as an additional post of the good produced by a given process.
Treatment of Normal Loss in Process Accounts
Normal losses are those which we can not stop. These are natural wastage.
Abnormal Wastage (Loss)
Abnormal wastage is a wastage which does not occur in the natural course and is usefully in excess of
the normal process wastage or loss. This occurs because of carelessness on the part of the worker or the
management, defective scheduling or designing, sabotage etc.
Treatment of Abnormal Loss in Process Accounts
All those losses which happen due to abnormal reasons are called abnormal losses. Following are its
main example.
Abnormal Gain:
If the actual loss of a Process is less than that of expected loss then the difference between the two will
be treated as abnormal gain. In another way we can define it as the difference between actual production
and expected production.
treatment of abnormal gain :
The value of abnormal gain is transferred to the debit side of the relevant process and ultimately closed
by crediting it to the Costing Profit and Loss Account.
