Question: Answer the questions based on the following activity table. a ) What is the minimum cost completion time for this project if the project's baseline

Answer the questions based on the following activity table.
a) What is the minimum cost completion time for this project if the project's baseline cost accounts for the sum of activity costs as outlined. Additionally, a fixed cost of $1,000 per day for the project's duration is factored into the normal cost calculation. For any day an activity is expedited (crashed), the cost increases by the crash cost indicated, plus an additional $500 per day for expediting.
b) Draw the time-cost tradeoff graph for this project and explain your answer for part a.
(Hint: The crash costs represent the cost of a fully expedited activity. For example, reducing activity B from 13 days to 12 days, costs an extra $100 on top of the $500 expediting cost for a total cost of $2,600. Reducing B from 13 days to 10 days, costs an extra $300 on top of the $500 expediting cost, for a total activity cost of $2,800.)
