I disagree. The unit cost of normal spoilage is not the same as the unit cost of abnormal spoilage. Normal spoilage is planned and inherent in the production process, with its unit cost typically included in standard costs.

Treating them as the same could lead to inaccurate cost analysis and financial reporting.
