    Hello Mr. Moffat,
    I crossed a question including a statement ‘20% of materials is provided for Spillage’.
    This was then used as normal loss % but I expected it to have been abnormal loss because Spillage is actually abnormal loss.
    Then I thought, could it be because of the provision ?
    Help me resolve this sir.

    A normall loss is an expected loss. If 20% is provided for spillage then it means they are expecting a loss of 20% and it is therefore a normal loss.

    Any abnormal loss or gain will only occur if the actual spillage turns out to be more or less than 20%.
