BUSM 3308 Techniques for Projects STUDENT NAME STUDENT No. Page 1/6 This tutorial will be marked out of 10. Twe marks are allocated to presentation, neatness, and readability. Q1. Use the information below to compress one time unit per move. Reduce the schedule until you reach the crash point of the network. For each move, identify what activity(s) was crashed and the adjusted total cost.

Calculate the total direct cost for each project duration. If the indirect costs for each project duration are $400 (22 time units), $330 (21), $260 (20) and $190 (19), calculate the total project cost for each duration. Plot the total direct, indirect and project costs for each of these durations on a cost- time graph. What is the optimum cost-time schedule for the project? What is this cost?
