Question

The following data is from Star Production Systems:

Activity                                                                   Activity Cost

Correcting invoice errors                                        $10,000

Disposing of poor-quality incoming materials.      15,000

Disposing of scrap                                                   28,000

Final inspections                                                      25,000

Responding to customer complaints                     15,000

Inspecting incoming materials                               17,500

Preventative machine maintenance                      15,000

Warranty work                                                         25,000

As a recent business graduate (with a special love for accounting), Star Production has asked you to analyze their activity costs and make recommendations for improvement. Using the data above, create a Cost of Quality Report and suggest activity areas that should be investigated further by the company. Assume that they are not experts in the difference between “good” costs of quality and “bad” costs of quality and you should include a distinction between the two in your report.
