   under Prevention costs at 3:36, Raw material is listed as a prevention cost. It is also listed as an appraisal cost at 4:45. However, in question #2, 5 and 6, the explanation of answers, Prevention costs, inspection of materials is not listed. It is listed in question #1, the explanation of answer, Appraisal costs, inspection of materials is listed. Is it a Prevention cost or an Appraisal cost?

      Hello James,

      Thank you for pointing this out! To clarify, inspecting raw materials as they come in is classified as a prevention cost because it is aimed at avoiding defects before production begins. The purpose of this inspection is to prevent defective materials from being used in the manufacturing process.

      On the other hand, inspecting and testing work-in-process or final products is classified as an appraisal cost because it occurs after production has started and is focused on detecting defects in products that are already in progress or completed. In the questions, examples are provided, and not a comprehensive list.

      Let me know if you have further questions or need additional clarification!
