Character Sketch of Monsieur Orielle

Monsieur oreille is the husband of oreille madame. ਮੌਨਸੀਅਰ ਓਰੇਲੀ ਓਰੀਲੀ ਮੈਡਮ ਦਾ ਪਤੀ ਹੈ।

He looks like a gentle, weak and self-respecting man. ਉਹ ਇੱਕ ਕੋਮਲ, ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ ਅਤੇ ਸਵੈ-ਮਾਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਆਦਮੀ ਜਾਪਦਾ ਹੈ।

His wife always is dominated him. ਉਸ ਦੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਉਸ ਉੱਤੇ ਹਾਵੀ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ.

He has to obey her all domestic affairs. ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਸਾਰੇ ਘਰੇਲੂ ਮਾਮਲਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਪਾਲਣਾ ਕਰਨੀ ਪੈਂਦੀ ਹੈ।

He belongs to a rich family. ਉਹ ਇੱਕ ਅਮੀਰ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਸਬੰਧ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹੈ। character sketch of Monsieur Oreille

So he does not need to work for a living. ਇਸ ਲਈ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਰੋਜ਼ੀ-ਰੋਟੀ ਲਈ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ।

But his wife wants him to earn more. ਪਰ ਉਸਦੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਹੋਰ ਕਮਾਵੇ।

They have no children and other financial responsibilities. ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਕੋਈ ਬੱਚੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਵਿੱਤੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਮੇਵਾਰੀਆਂ ਹਨ।

He works in the War Office as a head clerk. ਉਹ ਵਾਰ ਦਫ਼ਤਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੈੱਡ ਕਲਰਕ ਵਜੋਂ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ।

He is not a rational person in the eyes of his wife. ਉਹ ਆਪਣੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਨਜ਼ਰਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਤਰਕਸ਼ੀਲ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ।

His wife is a stingy woman. ਉਸਦੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਇੱਕ ਕੰਜੂਸ ਔਰਤ ਹੈ।

She wants to save every coin and does not want to spend even on essential affairs. ਉਹ ਹਰ ਸਿੱਕਾ ਬਚਾਉਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਜ਼ਰੂਰੀ ਕੰਮਾਂ ‘ਤੇ ਵੀ ਖਰਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ।

She also wants about his husband to have a better standard of living. ਉਹ ਇਹ ਵੀ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਉਸਦੇ ਪਤੀ ਦਾ ਜੀਵਨ ਪੱਧਰ ਬਿਹਤਰ ਹੋਵੇ।

His sleep fled at nights when he would like to spend money on anything. ਰਾਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਸਦੀ ਨੀਂਦ ਉੱਡ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਸੀ ਜਦੋਂ ਉਹ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਚੀਜ਼ ‘ਤੇ ਪੈਸਾ ਖਰਚ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਸੀ।

He considered his pairing with the wrong woman. ਉਹ ਗਲਤ ਔਰਤ ਨਾਲ ਆਪਣੀ ਜੋੜੀ ਸਮਝਦਾ ਸੀ।

He had to go to the office with an old umbrella. ਉਸ ਨੇ ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਛੱਤਰੀ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਦਫ਼ਤਰ ਜਾਣਾ ਸੀ। character sketch of Monsieur Oreille

His colleagues laugh at his umbrella. ਉਸਦੇ ਸਾਥੀ ਉਸਦੀ ਛੱਤਰੀ ‘ਤੇ ਹੱਸਦੇ ਹਨ। character sketch of Monsieur Oreille

Then his wife buys a new cheap umbrella for his husband. ਫਿਰ ਉਸਦੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਉਸਦੇ ਪਤੀ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਨਵੀਂ ਸਸਤੀ ਛੱਤਰੀ ਖਰੀਦਦੀ ਹੈ।

But this umbrella is considered as an advertising purpose. ਪਰ ਇਸ ਛਤਰੀ ਨੂੰ ਇਸ਼ਤਿਹਾਰਬਾਜ਼ੀ ਦਾ ਮਕਸਦ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

Then she buys for him a costly umbrella. ਫਿਰ ਉਹ ਉਸ ਲਈ ਮਹਿੰਗੀ ਛੱਤਰੀ ਖਰੀਦਦੀ ਹੈ।

But this umbrella gets burnt in the office. ਪਰ ਦਫ਼ਤਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਹ ਛੱਤਰੀ ਸੜ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ। character sketch of Monsieur Oreille

Then his wife abuses him. ਫਿਰ ਉਸਦੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਗਾਲ੍ਹਾਂ ਕੱਢਦੀ ਹੈ।

But as we know, he is an innocent man. ਪਰ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ ਅਸੀਂ ਜਾਣਦੇ ਹਾਂ, ਉਹ ਇੱਕ ਬੇਕਸੂਰ ਆਦਮੀ ਹੈ।

But for all such his stingy wife is responsible for his ridiculous position in the office. ਪਰ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਸਭ ਲਈ ਉਸਦੀ ਕੰਜੂਸ ਪਤਨੀ ਦਫਤਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਸਦੀ ਹਾਸੋਹੀਣੀ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਲਈ ਜ਼ਿੰਮੇਵਾਰ ਹੈ।

He is a self respecting man. ਉਹ ਇੱਕ ਸਵੈ-ਮਾਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਆਦਮੀ ਹੈ।

He tells his wife that he would not go to the office with a servant’s umbrella. ਉਹ ਆਪਣੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਨੂੰ ਕਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਨੌਕਰ ਦੀ ਛੱਤਰੀ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਦਫ਼ਤਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ।

Even though he threatens his wife to resign from his job. ਭਾਵੇਂ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਨੂੰ ਨੌਕਰੀ ਤੋਂ ਅਸਤੀਫਾ ਦੇਣ ਦੀ ਧਮਕੀ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ।

He is a character of pity in this story. ਉਹ ਇਸ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਵਿਚ ਤਰਸ ਦਾ ਪਾਤਰ ਹੈ।

It is a really painful sight for such a good man. ਅਜਿਹੇ ਨੇਕ ਆਦਮੀ ਲਈ ਇਹ ਬਹੁਤ ਦਰਦਨਾਕ ਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ ਹੈ।

He is being ill-treated by his miserly wife. ਉਹ ਆਪਣੀ ਕੰਜੂਸ ਪਤਨੀ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਬੁਰਾ ਸਲੂਕ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।

what is marginal cost example?

Give managerial application of marginal costing. Support your answer with practical illustrations.(2021)

Managerial Applications of Marginal Costing

Marginal costing is a costing technique where only variable costs (costs that change with the level of production) are considered when determining the cost of a product, while fixed costs (Which costs do not change with production level) are considered as period costs. This method provides valuable insights for decision-making in various managerial applications. what is marginal cost example?

Here are some key managerial applications of marginal costing, supported by practical illustrations:

1. Decision-Making for Pricing

Application:
Marginal costing helps managers determine the minimum price at which a product should be sold to cover variable costs and make a contribution toward covering fixed costs.

Practical Illustration:

A company manufactures a units with the following costs:

Variable cost per unit: ₹100
Fixed costs: ₹20,000 per month
Monthly production: 500 units

The company would like to know the minimum price at which the product should be sold to break even for the purpose of market capture.

Calculation:

Total variable cost = ₹100 × 500 = ₹50,000
To break even, the company needs to cover the fixed costs of ₹20,000. Therefore, the price should be set higher than ₹100 to contribute to the fixed costs. what is marginal cost example?

Breakeven price per unit:

Price=Variable cost per unit +(Fixed costs÷ Units produced) =100+(20,000÷500) =100+40=₹140

Thus, the company must sell the product for at least ₹140 to cover both variable as well as fixed costs. what is marginal cost example?

2. Product Mix Decisions

Application:
Marginal costing helps in deciding the most profitable product mix when there are constraints on resources, such as labor or machine time. Managers can choose the combination of products that maximizes contribution margin per unit of the scarce resource. what is marginal cost example?

Practical Illustration:

A company manufactures two products, A and B, with the following data:

Product	Contribution Margin per Unit	Time Required per Unit (Hours)	Available Time (Hours)
A	₹50	2	100
B	₹30	1	100

The company has 200 hours of machine time available each month.

Decision:

The contribution margin per hour of product A = ₹50 / 2 = ₹25
The contribution margin per hour of product B = ₹30 / 1 = ₹30

Thus product B earns a higher contribution margin per hour, thus company must produce product B for the purpose of maximising profits. what is marginal cost example?

3. Profitability Analysis and Break-even Analysis

Application:
Managers use marginal costing to conduct break-even analysis to determine the sales volume needed to cover total costs. This analysis helps in setting sales targets and understanding the financial viability of the business. what is marginal cost example?

Practical Illustration:

A company produces and sells a product with the following data:

Selling price per unit: ₹200
Variable cost per unit: ₹120
Fixed costs: ₹60,000

Break-even Point (BEP): The BEP is the point at which total revenue equals the total costs which includes (fixed + variable), meaning where there is no profit or loss for the organisation.

BEP (in units)=Fixed CostsSelling Price per unit−Variable Cost per

BEP=60,000200−120=60,00080=750 units

So, the company needs to sell 750 units to break even. If Sales occurs beyond this point will contribute to profit.

4. Make or Buy Decisions

Application:
Marginal costing is very helpful in business. Which helps managers in deciding whether to manufacture a product in-house or buy it from an external supplier, which one will be beneficial to the organization. So based on the comparison of the cost of manufacturing versus the cost of purchasing, Thus the decision will be taken by the manager.

Practical Illustration:

A company produces a component in-house with the following costs:

Variable cost per unit: ₹50
Fixed costs: ₹30,000 per month
Number of units produced: 2,000

An external supplier offers to sell the component for ₹70 per unit.

Cost of Manufacturing (in-house):

Total variable cost = ₹50 × 2,000 = ₹1,00,000
Fixed costs = ₹30,000
Total cost = ₹1,00,000 + ₹30,000 = ₹1,30,000

Cost of Purchasing (external):

Cost of buying = ₹70 × 2,000 = ₹1,40,000

Since the total cost of manufacturing (₹1,30,000) is less than the total cost of buying (₹1,40,000), it is more cost-effective to produce the component in-house. what is marginal cost example?

5. Contribution Margin Analysis for Decision-Making

Application:
Managers use marginal costing to analyze the contribution margin of different products or services to understand how much each product contributes to covering fixed costs and generating profit.

Practical Illustration:

A company manufactures three products with the following data:

Product	Selling Price	Variable Cost	Contribution Margin
A	₹500	₹300	₹200
B	₹600	₹400	₹200
C	₹700	₹500	₹200

The company needs to decide which product to focus on.

Decision: All products have the same contribution margin (₹200), but managers should also consider factors like sales volume, production capacity, and customer demand when making the final decision. Marginal costing allows for easy comparison and helps prioritize high-margin products if there is limited capacity. what is marginal cost example?

6. Cost Control and Reducing Wastage

Application:
Marginal costing can be used to identify inefficiencies and control costs by focusing only on variable costs. Managers can monitor these costs closely and take corrective actions to minimize waste and inefficiencies.

Practical Illustration:

A company observes that its variable costs for raw materials have increased by 10% over the last month. Using marginal costing, the company identifies the exact areas where waste is occurring, such as excessive spoilage during production. As a result, the company takes corrective action to reduce waste and improve efficiency, lowering variable costs in the future. What is marginal cost example?

Conclusion:

Marginal costing is a powerful tool that helps managers make key decisions such as setting prices, evaluating product mix, conducting break-even analysis, deciding whether to make or buy, and controlling costs. By focusing on variable costs and the contribution margin, marginal costing provides actionable insights that can significantly improve profitability and operational efficiency. You can find the syllabus of Cost Accounting on the official website under Gndu.

3. Opportunity Costs: When investors have many best alternatives for the opportunity to invest. What is the best plan. Ascertainment of profit on contracts nearing completion

(a) Ascertainment of Profit on Completed Contracts

Ascertainment of profit on completed contracts involves determining the profit earned from a contract after it has been fully completed. This method is commonly used in industries like construction, where long-term contracts are executed over multiple years.

Steps for Ascertainment of Profit:

Revenue Recognition: The total contract revenue (price agreed upon in the contract) is recognized as income when the contract is completed.
Cost Allocation: All costs related to the contract (direct and indirect) are charged to the contract. This includes:
- Direct costs: Materials, labor, etc. Ascertainment of profit on contracts nearing completion
- Indirect costs: Overheads allocated to the project.
Profit Calculation: Profit is calculated as:
Profit = Revenue from Contract−Total Costs Incurred
Once all costs have been accounted for and the contract is completed, the profit is realized. The entire profit from the contract is recognized at this point.
Journal Entries:
- Revenue is recognized as income when the contract is completed.
- All costs incurred during the contract execution are accounted for under expense accounts. Ascertainment of profit on contracts nearing completion

(b) Ascertainment of Profit on Contracts Nearing Completion

For contracts that are nearing completion, the percentage-of-completion method is typically used to ascertain profits. This method estimates the profit based on the progress made on the contract, even before it is completed.

Steps for Ascertainment of Profit (Near Completion):

Determine the Progress of the Contract: The degree of completion is estimated by comparing the costs incurred to date with the total estimated costs of the contract. A common approach is:
Percentage of Completion =Costs Incurred to DateTotal Estimated Costs\Percentage of Completion
Revenue and Profit Recognition: Based on the percentage of completion, a corresponding percentage of the contract’s total revenue and profit is recognized. For example, if the contract is 80% complete, 80% of the expected revenue and 80% of the expected profit can be recognized. Ascertainment of profit on contracts nearing completion
Profit Calculation: The profit recognized at any point during the contract is:
Recognized Profit =Total Revenue×Percentage of Completion−Total Costs Incurred
This approach helps spread the recognition of profit over the life of the contract, even if the contract is still not fully completed. So in this “Estimated Profit” can be find as

Estimated Profit

Estimated Profit On Completion

Journal Entries:
- Revenue is recognized as the contract progresses, based on the percentage of completion.
- Costs are recorded as incurred. Ascertainment of profit on contracts nearing completion
- Adjustments are made for any changes in estimated total costs or revenue.

Conclusion:

Profit on Completed Contracts is determined at the completion of the contract by comparing total contract revenue with total costs incurred, resulting in a clear and final profit figure. Ascertainment of profit on contracts nearing completion
Profit on Contracts Nearing Completion uses the percentage-of-completion method, which estimates profits based on the progress made so far, offering a more timely reflection of the contract’s financial performance before it is fully completed.

Both methods ensure that companies in industries like construction or long-term projects can recognize and report their profits in a systematic and reasonable manner, depending on the stage of the contract. You can find the syllabus on the official website of gndu.

  This type of budget Covers the revenue and expenses related to the day-to-day activities of the organization, such as production and sales.
- Financial Budget:
  This type of budget create on the financial aspects like cash flow, balance sheet, and capital expenditure.

These budgets are tailored to help organizations plan, control, and evaluate their financial performance. budget and budgetary control notes

Detailed Conclusion of Budget and Budgetary Control with Examples

Budget: A budget is essentially a financial yard for an organization. It outlines the expected revenues and expenses over a specific period, typically a year, quarter, or month. It provides a clear direction for resource allocation, helping businesses ensure that their financial resources are being used efficiently.

Example: A manufacturing company prepares a sales budget for the upcoming year, estimating a revenue of ₹50,00,000 from sales of 100,000 units. It also prepares a production budget, forecasting the production of 100,000 units, with a corresponding cost of ₹30,00,000. This allows the company to plan for production and ensure resources are in place to meet sales expectations. budget and budgetary control notes
Budgetary Control: Budgetary control is the process of comparing actual performance against the budgeted figures, identifying deviations, and taking corrective actions. This allows managers to identify areas where performance is either exceeding or falling short of expectations and take appropriate actions.

Example: Suppose in the same company, the actual revenue in the month of January was ₹4,50,000 (as opposed to the budgeted ₹5,00,000). The variance analysis will highlight a ₹50,000 shortfall in revenue. The company’s management can investigate the cause of this shortfall (perhaps due to lower-than-expected sales) and take corrective actions, such as increasing marketing efforts or adjusting pricing strategies.

Key Benefits of Budget and Budgetary Control:

Planning: Budgets help in planning future activities, such as estimating costs, setting targets, and allocating resources effectively.
Control: Budgetary control ensures that operations stay within the planned limits. It helps in identifying discrepancies early, allowing corrective actions before they affect overall performance.
Performance Evaluation: By comparing actual results with the budgeted figures, businesses can evaluate departmental performance, assess areas for improvement, and recognize successful strategies.
Cost Management: Budgetary control helps in keeping track of costs and ensuring that they don’t exceed the planned amounts.

Limitations of Budget and Budgetary Control:

Rigid Framework: A strict adherence to budgets may reduce flexibility, preventing the organization from responding to unforeseen circumstances. budget and budgetary control notes
Time-Consuming: Setting up and monitoring budgets can be a time-consuming process, especially for large organizations.
Overemphasis on Short-Term Targets: Focusing too much on budget adherence may discourage long-term investments or innovation, as departments may prioritize meeting budget targets over exploring new opportunities.

In Summary:

Budgets serve as a roadmap for financial management and organizational goals.
Budgetary control helps to keep financial activities in line with planned objectives by identifying and correcting deviations. budget and budgetary control notes
Both tools, when used effectively, can lead to better resource management, improved decision-making, and greater financial discipline.

Explain normal wastage, abnormal wastage and abnormal gain. Discuss their treatment in process accounts.

Explanation and Treatment in Process Accounts

1. Normal Wastage:

Meaning of Normal Wastage

Normal wastage refers to that loss which can’t be avoided during the production process; it can be also expected by considering the nature of work operations. It is considered a standard part of the manufacturing process and cannot be eliminated, even under efficient working conditions. normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting

Examples:

Evaporation of liquids during heating
Trimming of materials
Spillage or dust during handling

Key Points:

It is anticipated and built into the production cost.
The cost of normal wastage is absorbed by the good units.
It’s scrap value if it has which can be sold on little value, that is deducted from the process cost. normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting

Thus in short words:
Normal wastage refers to unavoidable loss of material which is bound to occur during the manufacturing process operations.(e.g., evaporation, shrinkage, etc.). normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting

Treatment of Normal Wastage in Process Accounts

Included in Cost of Good Units:
Normal wastage is spread over the remaining good units produced during the operations of work. It is not treated separately.
Scrap Value (if any):
If the normal wastage has a realizable scrap value, it is credited to the process account, reducing the overall cost. normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting

Accounting Entry in Process Account:

If scrap has value:

Dr. Process A Account

Cr. By Normal Wastage (at scrap value)

If scrap has no value: No separate entry; the total process cost is simply divided among the good units.

Example: Suppose 7,000 units are input, and 200 units are expected to be lost as normal wastage. If the total cost is ₹14,000 and the scrap value of the wastage is ₹1 per unit (₹100 total):

Net cost = ₹14,000 – ₹200 = ₹12,200
This ₹12,200 is distributed over 6800 good units = ₹1.79 per unit.

2. Abnormal Wastage:

Meaning of Abnormal Wastage

Abnormal wastage (also called abnormal loss) refers to the unexpected and avoidable loss of materials or units during production. This type of loss occurs beyond the normal or standard limit and is usually due to factors like:

Machine breakdowns
Human errors or negligence
Accidents or poor-quality materials
Inefficiencies in the process

Key Features:

Not a part of standard production
Avoidable with better control or efficiency
Not involved in the cost of good units.
Treated separately and transferred to a Costing Profit & Loss Account.

In other words Meaning
Abnormal wastage is the unexpected or avoidable loss of material due to inefficiency, accidents, or errors.

Treatment of Abnormal Wastage in Process Accounts

Abnormal wastage (or abnormal loss) is treated separately from normal wastage because it is unexpected and avoidable. Here’s how it’s handled

1. Calculate the Cost of Abnormal Wastage:

Abnormal wastage units are valued at the same cost per unit as good units produced during the operations.

2. Transfer to Abnormal Loss Account:

The cost of abnormal wastage is debited to the Abnormal Loss Account during the treatment of cost for business costs.
If the abnormal wastage has a scrap value, it is credited to the Abnormal Loss Account. normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting

3. Transfer Net Loss to Costing Profit & Loss Account:

The net loss (after deducting any scrap value) is transferred to the Costing Profit & Loss Account.

Journal Entries:

For recording abnormal loss:

Abnormal Loss A/c Dr.

To Process Account

If there is scrap value:

Scrap/Bank A/c Dr.

To Abnormal Loss A/c

Transfer net loss to P&L:

Costing Profit & Loss A/c Dr.

To Abnormal Loss A/c

3. Abnormal Gain:

Meaning of Abnormal Gain

Abnormal gain refers to the unexpected or higher-than-expected output during the production process. It occurs when the actual loss of materials or units is less than the expected (normal) loss, resulting in more good units than anticipated. normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting

Key Points:

It is a positive outcome and occurs when the loss is lower than normal.
The gain is unanticipated, and typically arises due to greater efficiency or improved process conditions.
Abnormal gain is treated as extra production and is recorded separately.

Examples:

Producing more units than the expected yield due to improved production techniques.
Higher-quality materials or better handling leading to less wastage than expected.normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting

In other words:-
When loss occurs less than the normal loss during the manufacturing process is called Abnormal gain. It can occur by the efficiency of management.

Treatment of Abnormal Gain in Process Accounts

Abnormal gain occurs when the loss occurs less than the normal loss. And in resulting of which good units produced more than expectations:

1. Value of Abnormal Gain:

The extra units (gained) are valued at the same cost per unit as the good units produced. normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting

2. Credit to Process Account:

The abnormal gain is credited to the process account to reduce the overall cost of production.

3. Transfer to Abnormal Gain Account:

The cost of abnormal gain is debited to the Abnormal Gain Account during the treatment of cost.

4. Transfer to Costing Profit & Loss Account:

The net gain (after deducting any scrap value) is transferred to the Costing Profit & Loss Account as a profit.

Journal Entries:

For recording abnormal gain:

Process Account Dr.

To Abnormal Gain A/c

Transfer to P&L:

Abnormal Gain A/c Dr.

To Costing Profit & Loss A/c

Conclusion of Normal Wastage, Abnormal Wastage, and Abnormal Gain

Normal wastage, abnormal wastage, and abnormal gain are important concepts in process costing that help in analyzing and controlling production efficiency:

Normal wastage is an unavoidable part of production and is absorbed by the cost of good units. It reflects the expected inefficiencies built into the process.normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting
Abnormal wastage is unexpected and avoidable. It indicates inefficiency or error and is treated as a separate loss, charged to the Costing Profit & Loss Account.
Abnormal gain arises when actual loss is less than the normal loss, indicating improved efficiency. It is treated as a separate gain and credited to the Costing Profit & Loss Account. normal and abnormal wastage in cost accounting
