If the output is more than expected then there is an abnormal gain. If the output is less than expected then there is an abnormal loss.
For process X, the expected output is 65,000 – (8% x 65,000) = 59,800. The actual output was only 58,900 and so there is an unexpected/abnormal loss of the difference.
Hi, in question 1, how can you tell the difference between abnormal loss or gain? I already watched the lecture but still confused
