1、Spoilage,Rework,and ScrapCHAPTER 182024/4/15 周一1TerminologySpoilage,rework,and scrap have distinctive definitions in cost accounting that may not be the definition commonly used.P510(639)It is important that these terms be used properly,as each receives a different accounting treatment.2024/4/15 周一2
2、Terminology,conts.Spoilage is units of production that do not meet the specifications required by customers for good units and are discarded or sold at reduced prices.Rework is units of production that do not meet the specifications required by customers but are repaired and sold as good finished un

4、al spoilage is spoilage inherent in the production process.It is viewed arising even in an efficient manufacturing process.Typically,normal spoilage is included as a part of the cost of good units manufactured.Units considered normal spoilage in a process-costing system are counted in computing comp

6、 units of abnormal spoilage and record the cost in a“Loss from Abnormal Spoilage”account,which appears as a separate line item in the income statement.Some companies regard all spoilage as abnormal in order to make all spoilage visible.2024/4/15 周一5Spoilage,conts.Illustration:in January 2008,mendonz
