Please walk through all steps to solve.

Rusty Ryan, a project controller at Glade Computers, recently learned that it's possible to compress a project. The table below provides the details for a new project including tasks, precedence relations, marginal compression costs, and maximum compression limits. Rusty must develop a project schedule and would like to consider more than just the standard CPM schedule.

Because he has little experience with optimization, Rusty would like you to formulate and solve the mathematical program(s) required to answer the questions below.

Note: Round all answers to 3 decimal places. When entering compression strategies, remember to include values for starting and ending tasks and enter your answer as a vector (e.g. ).
