B. Explain each of these types of costs using examples.
(Stevenson, 2018) Appraisal costs are from inspection, testing and other processes with the

are from running the tests, inspectors, test equipment, labs, quality audits and field testing.

(Stevenson, 2018) Prevention costs are processes implemented to prevent shoddy product

QC processes and attention in the design and production to decrease the possibility of flawed
workmanship (Stevenson, 2018).
An example of prevention cost is training employees how an item or service is to be produced to
