Here are the process account and abnormal loss/gain accounts for the period.
Common Data Used:
- Input materials: 5,000 kilos
- Normal loss: 10% of input = 500 kilos
- Expected output: 4,500 kilos
- Total cost incurred: KSh 40,500
- Scrap value per kilo of normal loss: KSh 2.7
- Cost per kg (calculated in part c)): KSh 8.70
b) i) If the actual output is 4,650 kilos
Step 1: Calculate abnormal gain.
Abnormalgain=Actualoutput−Expectedoutput
Abnormalgain=4,650kilos−4,500kilos=150kilos
Step 2: Calculate the value of normal loss.
Valueofnormalloss=500kilos×KSh2.7/kilo=KSh1,350
Step 3: Calculate the value of abnormal gain.
Valueofabnormalgain=150kilos×KSh8.70/kilo=KSh1,305
Step 4: Calculate the value of finished goods.
Valueoffinishedgoods=4,650kilos×KSh8.70/kilo=KSh40,455
Step 5: Prepare the Process Account.

b) ii) If the actual output is 4,400 kilos
Step 1: Calculate abnormal loss.
Abnormalloss=Expectedoutput−Actualoutput
Abnormalloss=4,500kilos−4,400kilos=100kilos
Step 2: Calculate the value of normal loss.
Valueofnormalloss=500kilos×KSh2.7/kilo=KSh1,350
Step 3: Calculate the value of abnormal loss.
Valueofabnormalloss=100kilos×KSh8.70/kilo=KSh870
Step 4: Calculate the value of finished goods.
Valueoffinishedgoods=4,400kilos×KSh8.70/kilo=KSh38,280
