Prepare an interim quality performance report. Enter all answers as positive amounts. If there is no variance enter "0" for your answer. If the budget variance amount is unfavorable select "Unfavorable" in the last column of the table, select "Favorable" if it is favorable, or No effect if there is no change. Round percentage answers to two decimal places. For example, 5.789% would be entered as "5.79".

3. What if sales were $12,500,000 for 20x4 and $15,625,000 for 20x5? What adjustment to budgeted rework costs would be made? (Note: Quality auditing is a discretionary cost and its budget is not affected by the change in sales revenue in 20x5.)

The total quality management standard is the robust zero-defects standard. This standard requires that goods and services be produced that meet the targeted value of specified quality characteristics. Achieving zero defects typically requires years and so a variety of...
