$4.$ Draw a project network from the following information. What activity$($s$)$ is a burst activity? What

activity$($s$)$ is a merge activity?

$5.$ From the following information, develop an AON project network. Complete the forward and

backward pass, compute activity slack, and identify the critical path. How many days will the

project take?

$6.$ The project information for the custom order project of the Air Control Company is presented

here. Draw a project network for this project. Compute the early and late activity times and the

slack times. Identify the critical path.

$7.$ You have signed a contract to build a garage for the Simpsons. You will receive a $$500$ bonus for

completing the project within $7$ working days. The contract also contains a penalty clause in which

you will lose $$100$ for each day the project takes longer than $7$ working days.

Draw a project network given the information below. Complete the forward and backward pass,

compute the activity slack, and identify the critical path. Do you expect to receive a bonus or a

penalty on this project?

$8.$ You are creating a customer database for the Hillsboro Hops minor league baseball team. Draw a

project network given the information below. Complete the forward and backward pass, compute

activity slack, and identify the critical path.

How long will this project take? How sensitive is the network schedule? Calculate the free slack

and total slack for all noncritical activities.

$9.$ K$.$ Nelson project manager of Print Software, Inc., wants you to prepare a project network;

compute the early, late, and slack activity times; determine the planned project duration; and

identify the critical path. His assistant has collected the following information for the Color

Printer Drivers Software Project:

$10.$ A large southeast city is requesting federal funding for a park$-$and$-$ride project. One of the

requirements in the request application is a network plan for the design phase of the project.

Sophie Kim, the chief engineer, wants you to develop a project network plan to meet this

requirement. She has gathered the activity time estimates and their dependencies shown here.

Show your project network with the activity early, late, and slack times. Mark the critical path.
