Discuss the accounting treatment of spoilage in a job-order costing system


If the spoilage is common to all jobs, is normal, and can be estimated, the net cost is applied to production using a predetermined overhead rate that was set by including the spoilage estimate in estimated overhead. If spoilage pertains to a particular job and is normal, the disposal value of the spoiled goods should be removed from that particular job. If the spoilage is abnormal, the net cost should be charged to a loss account and credited to the particular Work in Process job that created the spoilage.
