NOTE: Refer to the Instructions for Citrix in the Course Materials. The purpose of this assignment is to complete resource scheduling and cost problems. Complete the following Chapter 8 exercises in the Larson and Gray textbook: Exercises 2, 5, 6 and 11. Use Microsoft Excel and/or Microsoft Project to complete these exercises. Provide requested short answer responses in a Microsoft Word file. Submit your Microsoft Word file, along with your Microsoft Excel and/or Microsoft Project file. Ensure that your last name is in your file names. While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a scoring guide Please review the scoring guide prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are not required to submit this assignment to Lopeswrite. 2. Given the network plan that follows, compute the early, late, and slack times. What is the project duration? Using any approach you wish (e.g., trial and error), develop a loading chart for resources Carpenters (C) and Electricians (E).

This schedule is contingent on having 3 backhoes. You receive a call from your partner, Brooker, who desperately needs one of your backhoes. You tell Project Management: The Managerial Process, Seventh Edition 295 Chapter 8 Scheduling Resources and Costs 285 I Brooker you would be willing to let him have the backhoe if you are still able to complete your project in 11 months. Develop a resource schedule in the loading chart that follows to see if it is pos- sible to complete the project in 11 months with only 2 backhoes. Be sure to record the order in which you schedule the activities using scheduling heuristics. Activities 5 and 6 require 2 backhoes, while activities 1, 2, 3, and 4 require 1 backhoe. No splitting of activities is possible.
