Home » CMA Glossary Term » Cost Accounting » Normal Spoilage

Normal Spoilage refers to the expected and unavoidable loss of materials or products during the manufacturing process, considered a standard part of production. In spoilage accounting, these losses are typically included in the cost of goods sold, as they are inherent to the production cycle. Recognizing normal spoilage helps in accurately assessing production efficiency and cost management.
