**For the following problem, assume that the durations are given in weeks and the required completion time is 29 weeks.

a. Draw a network diagram (in the blank space below may insert an image) using the activity-in-the-box format using the information provided below (see sample boxes highlighted in yellow below use this format ONLY). Also, show the ES (earliest start), EF (earliest finish), LS (latest start), and LF (latest finish) times for each activity (on the diagram). Format counts! (10 pts total) Breakdown: ES/EF/LS/LF (0.25 * 32=8 pts); Correct Connections (10 * 0.2 = 2 pts).

b. Input the ES, EF, LS, LF from the network diagram you drafted in part a (above) and calculate the total slack time for each activity in the table below. (2 pts) (0.22 pts each)

MUST SHOW CALCULATIONS FOR TOTAL SLACK UNDER THE TABLE TO RECEIVE CREDIT (INCLUDE FORMULAS)! USE ONLY THE FORMULAS FOUND IN TEXTBOOK NOT ONLINE TEXTBOOKS OR OTHER EXTERNAL SOURCES

e. If so, Why. If not, why not? (2 points)

f. What would you focus on to get the project back on schedule and why? (2 pts).
