Its the result of actual output minus normal loss. For Eg. if a manufacturing firm estimates an 5% as normal loss of their shift production, then in a Shift for an output of 100 units, 5 units will be the normal loss. So if in any case if the actual output is less than the 95 units, it will be resulted in abnormal loss and if actual output exceeds expected output then it results into an abnormal gain i.e. anything more than output of 95 units. While calculating the cost per unit, normal loss is usually adjusts to the actual output, whereas abnormal loss is charged to Cost of goods sold account.
