A) What are the normal project completion time and the critical path?

b) What activity should be crashed to reduce the completion time found in a) by one week? Why?

ABC Construction is designing a new highway project. Shown below are the activities that need to be completed in this project. The Crash Time for an activity represents the resulting time after the activity has been crashed. The Normal Cost represents the cost to complete the activity in the Normal Time. The Crash Cost represents the cost to complete the activity in the Crash Time. In addition to the costs identified below, there are indirect costs of $300 per week. In addition, there is a penalty cost of $500 per week for each week the project lasts beyond week five.
