A new engineering team is put together for the development of a new product. This new product will be built through an assembly line. The production manager designs the assembly line. He has been advised that the assembly line must be ready in four weeks (20 working days) for a test run. The manager decided to use CPM (critical path method) and has broken down the projects into the following activities, determined their precedence relationships, and estimated normal times:

Activity	Immediate Predecessors	Normal Time (days)	Crash Time (days)	Crashing Cost ($/ day)
a. organize layout team	none	5	5	-
b. organize modification team	none	3	3	-
c. design personnel jobs	a, b	2	1	500
d. set machinery in place	none	3	1	2500
e. connect utilities	d	3	2	1000
f. modify conveyor system	c, e	4	3	1200
g. train personnel	c	3	3	-
h. finishing touches	f, g	5	3	800
i. run test lot	h	2	2	-

Based on the information provided above, answer the following questions.

1. What is the project earliest completion time in days? Round your answer to the nearest integer. Your answer is ____. (1 point)

2. The manager would like to expedite the project by 1 day. According to the crashing data provided in the table, which task should be expedited? Input the task label here. For example, if your answer is a organizing layout team, input a. Your answer is ____. (1 point)
