Cost per unit = Cost of input / Nos. of output units (Expected output units)
= Rs. 120,000 / 12,000 units
= Rs. 10 per unit.
Input cost includes cost of direct material and cost of conversion. In this there is no loss in
units, therefore the cost of output is equal to cost of input.

Cost per unit = Cost of input / Nos. of Expected output units (excluding normal loss)
= Rs. 120,000 / 10,000 units
= Rs. 12 per unit.
The normal loss is inherient in nature, and it occur under efficient operating condition and are
unavoidable.
Cost is not assigned to nos. of units lost (Normal).
The cost of material loss (Normal) is transferred to nos. of expected goods output, which
increases the per unit cost of finished goods.
Cost per unit = Cost of input / Nos. of Expected output units (including abnormal loss)

1 These losses are not an inherent in nature and that is why it is called abnormal or controllable loss.
2 It will be excluded from the process account having a value equal to the value of goods output.
3 It is treated as a periodic cost and written off in the profit statement at the end of accounting year.
4 Cost of abnormal loss in not included in cost of ending inventory, if any.
Required no.4: When Normal loss in the process (With salvage value)
Cost per unit = (Cost of input - Salvage value of normal loss) / Nos. of Expected output units
Accounting Entries:
1) For Input: 2) For Output:
Same entry Same entry
3) For Normal Loss - Salvage value:
a) Recording of normal loss with salvage value:
Cash 10,000
Spoiled goods (Normal loss) 10,000
1 The salvage value of normal loss, if any, will reduce the process cost.
2 The salvage value of normal loss will be excluded from process cost account, and open a new account of spoi
goods and transferred that salvage value in it. This procedure will be made regularly and when the spoiled goo
are in large quantity then it will be sold for cash.
In this case there may be gain or loss on sale of spoiled goods if it is not sold simulteneously, which will be
transferred to Profit and loss account.
3 The cost value on normal loss is not assigned because it is transferred to good output.
The Salvage value of normal loss is assigned, which reduces the process cost.
2 In Process account, there is a Salvage of normal loss because this value will be recovered from sale
of normal loss which reduces the process cost account.
ABNORMAL LOSS:
3 In Process account, there is a Cost value of abnormal loss is taken, which is equal to cost of output
4 Separate Abnormal loss account will be prepared, taking cost value from process and cash value will
be credited. The balance is called Loss on sale of abnormal loss which will be transferred to
Profit and loss account
5 Separate Normal loss (Spoiled goods) account will be prepared in same manner.

CASE I
Input 1000 units are processed upto 50% which is the inspection point. At this level 100 are declared as a
loss and the expected good output become 900 units. Therefore the cost of normal loss which is 712.50 is transfer
to 900 units. At the end of month out of 900 expected good output is converted in to 600 finished good and

Reworked cost is 60% material and 50% direct labor
8 WIP at end 800 rolls 80% material and 40% direct labor
Solution

Add: Unit placed in production 5,650

Total 5,800 rolls are completed during the year including 500 rolls reworked.
Therefore 5,300 rolls are un-reworked rolls. (i.e 5,800 rolls - 500 rolls). These
rolls are good output and the normal loss is calculated on these rolls.
