help me with the steps for this solution Suppose that General Foundry has been implored

to install the new equipment in $8$weeks instead of

$16$weeks$.$ Assume that General Foundry is given

a bonus of $$600$for each week that the project

completion time is crashed.

$$The critical path for the project is $15$weeks$.$

$$What options does the firm have?

$$The normal and crash times and costs are shown in

Table $12\mathrm{.}9.$

$$Crash costs are assumed to be linear and Figure $12\mathrm{.}11$

shows the crash cost for activity B$.$

$$Crashing activities B and A will shorten the

completion time to $14$but it creates a second

critical path.

$$Any further crashing must be done to both critical
