Solution
The correct option is C Credited to Abnormal Loss Account A loss by theft or losses by fire, flood, earthquake, war, accidents, in transit, etc. are abnormal losses. These losses are avoidable and not inherent in nature. These losses reduce the value of closing stock as well as profit.
After finding out the value, credit the Consignment A/c and debit the Abnormal Loss A/c.
