Standard form calls for two spaces after a period and one space after a comma.

The question, "Is this correct?" needs a question mark at the end -- followed by two spaces.

No that is not correct. Usually the period is inside the quotations. The only exception is when the ending unit is either a single letter or a number, then the period would be outside the quotes. example:

My favorite number is "8".
My favorite letter is "D".
