Answer #1

There is no such assumption in process costing for spoilage. But if the question says like from the past experience it is known that the 1% of input will be lossed then that will be treated as normal loss and if the loss is more than 1% then additional losses are treated as abnormal loss.

Eg:- Input of 10,000 units and 1% is loss as per past experience and the total loss was 150 units then,

10,000*1% = 100 (Normal Loss)

150-100 = 50 (Abnormal Loss)

Normal loss amount are charged to inventory cost. But Abnormal losses are shown in income statement as a loss.
