Question 1. Question

categories in a cost of quality program are

success, and external success.
prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and

design, process specification, on-time
delivery, and customer satisfaction.

Question 4. Question

an example of

external failure costs.

internal failure costs.

prevention costs.

appraisal costs.

Question 5. Question
: (TCO 11) Regal Products has a
budget of $900,000 in 20X3 for prevention costs. If it decides to automate a portion of its
prevention activities, it will save $60,000 in variable costs. The new method will require $18,000 in
training costs and $120,000 in annual equipment costs. Management is willing to adjust the budget
for an amount up to the cost of the new equipment. The budgeted production level is 150,000
units. Appraisal costs for the year are
budgeted at $600,000. The new prevention
procedures will save appraisal costs of $30,000. Internal failure costs average $15 per failed
unit of finished goods. The internal
failure rate is expected to be 3% of all completed items. The proposed changes will cut the internal
failure rate by one-third. Internal
failure units are destroyed. External
failure costs average $54 per failed unit.
The company’s average external failuresaverage 3% of units sold. The new proposal will reduce this rate by
50%. Assume all units produced are sold
and there are no ending inventories. How
much will appraisal costs change assuming the new prevention methods reduce
material failures by 40% in the appraisal phase?

quality is unaffected by the number of units purchased.

Question 9. Question
