If actual output exceeds expected output an abnormal gain occurs. and abnormal loss or gain) – ie cost per unit for a period is total cost divided by expected output.

Detailed explanation-2: -Generally the cost of normal loss is absorbed by the cost units. Normal Output = Units introduced – Units of normal loss Normal Cost of Normal Output = Total Cost – Scrap value of Normal Loss. and if there is any scrap value then that will be shown in amount column of the credit side corresponding to lost units.
