$(50$ points$)$ You$$ve been given the following information about the Project Delta. The project started on September $2,2022$ and the project manager asks you for help on assessing its ongoing progress $($as completed through September $16,2022,$ the current date$)$ by doing the following tasks. For submission, attach the completed MS Project and submit via Canvas upload.

$$Activity$$Duration$$ Predecessors$$ Resource$\%$ complete

A$.$ Research product$6-$ Tom Allen$100$

B$.$ Interview customers$4$ A$$Liz Watts$75$

C$.$ Design survey$5$ A$$ Rich Watkins$50$

D$.$ Collect data$4$ B$,$ C$$ Gary Sims$0$

Now, suppose we assign costs to each of the resources in the following amounts.

$$

Resource$$ Cost

Tom Allen$$ $$50/$hour

Liz Watts$$ $$55/$hour

Rich Watkins$$ $$18/$hour

Gary Sims$$ $$12\mathrm{.}50/$hour

$1\mathrm{.}1)$ Using the above project data, enter the various tasks and create a Gantt chart using MS Project. Assign the individuals responsible for each activity and enter the resource cost rate data into the project. Don$$t forget to save the baseline!

$1\mathrm{.}2)$ Create the Cash flow statement for the project baseline. What is the planned project budget per task?

$1\mathrm{.}3)$ Once you have completed the Baseline, update the project information with the percentage complete tool. What does the tracking Gantt Chart look like?

$1\mathrm{.}4)$ Originally, the human resources costs are the only planned expenditures. However, in carrying out Task A$,$ research product, a total of $$1,500$ extra cost was incurred to purchase some research tools. Use MS Project to create an Earned Value report of the most recent project status. Activity Duration
