b) What is the total cost required for completing this project on normal time?

c) If you wish to reduce the time required to complete this project by 1 week, which activity should be crashed, and how much will this increase the total cost?

The critical path with the longest length through the project is?

To speed up the project at the least additional cost, first crash the activity

that has the lowest crash cost per week. Determine the crash cost per week for each activity on the critical path.

d)

For activity A, the per week crashing cost =

For activity D, the per week crashing cost

For activity G, the per week crashing cost

For reducing the duration of the project by one week, the activity that should be crashed first is activity:

The cost of the project based on the first activity selected for crashing will increase by:

What is(are) the critical path(s) after crashing activity D down to 4 weeks?

Hence, any further crashing must be done to both critical paths.

Determine the crash cost per week for activities on path B - E - G.

For activity B, the per week crashing cost:

For activity E, the per week crashing cost:

For activity G, the per week crashing cost:
