Abnormal loss??????

697 views 1 replies

Can anyone explain me  why abnormal losses are credited to Trading a/c??? For e.g when  goods worth Rs 200000 are consigned and are lost in transit and insurance Co. pays 40%, so in this case entry is:

Bank A/c                      Dr. 80000

loss due to accident Dr. 120000

          To trading A/c                        200000

So kindly explain why its going to trading a/c inspite of the fact whengoods are consigned entry made is

Goods sent on consgnmt      Dr.

          To Trading A/c....

Thanks in Advance

You should read consignment accounts again. When goods are consigned entry is consignment A/c debited Goods sent on consignment A/c credited. The Goods sent on consignment A/c is shown in tradingA/c as subtraction from purchase. Now when goods lost in transit, a new account Goods lost in transit opened and value of goods lost debited to it and consignment account credited. On receiving of claim from insurance company Goods lost in transit credited with the amount received and balance left in this account i.e. Abnormal Loss transfered to Profit and Loss account i hope it is clear to you.
