What are the two types of costs of conformance?

  1. Depreciation and amortization

  2. Prevention and appraisal

  3. Fixed and variable

  4. Direct and indirect

The correct answer is: Prevention and appraisal

The correct answer is prevention and appraisal. Prevention costs are associated with activities that are designed to prevent defects from occurring in the first place, such as quality planning, training, and process improvement. Appraisal costs are related to activities that are conducted to detect defects after they have occurred, such as inspections, testing, and quality control. These two types of costs of conformance are essential in ensuring that the project meets the required quality standards. The other options are incorrect as they do not represent the two types of costs of conformance in project management. Depreciation and amortization, fixed and variable, and direct and indirect costs are not directly related to the costs of conformance in project management.
