The complete package provides additional CCQM-style practice sets with broader Body of Knowledge coverage, detailed explanations and more opportunities to work on calculations, scenarios and commonly confused concepts.

Q1.Quality costs for a completed project are summarised below, in thousands of dollars.

$\begin{array}{l|c} \hline \textbf{Category} & \textbf{Cost} \\ \hline \text{Prevention} & 45 \\ \text{Appraisal} & 135 \\ \text{Internal failure} & 210 \\ \text{External failure} & 90 \\ \hline \end{array}$

What share of the total quality cost is the cost of poor quality?
- A. $43.75\%$
- B. $62.5\%$ ✓ Correct answer
- C. $37.5\%$
- D. $18.75\%$
Explanation
The cost of poor quality is the failure half of the four categories, internal and external taken together:

$C_{POQ} = C_{IF} + C_{EF}$

Expressed against the total of all four categories:

$\frac{C_{POQ}}{C_T} = \frac{210 + 90}{45 + 135 + 210 + 90} = \frac{300}{480} = 62.5\%$

The $37.5\%$ option is the conformance share, prevention plus appraisal, which is the complement of the answer, and $43.75\%$ counts internal failure alone.
