Answer

Normal spoilage is indeed planned spoilage. It refers to the expected level of spoilage that is inherent in a production process, even under efficient operating conditions. Management sets the acceptable normal spoilage rate based on process characteristics, historical data, and other relevant factors to plan for and manage the impact of such spoilage.
