Abnormal Spoilage
Abnormal Spoilage
Spoilage, or waste, of a product that occurs due to inefficiency in the process of making that product. Unlike normal spoilage, it is recorded on a balance sheet as a loss rather than a cost. While normal spoilage is seen as inevitable, companies seek to create processes to reduce or eliminate abnormal spoilage.
