CH$.9$ EXERCISE $8$

Use the following information to compress one time unit per move using the least$-$cost method.$*$ Reduce the schedule until you reach the crash point of the network. For each move identify what activity or activities were crashed and the adjusted total cost, and explain your choice if you have to choose between activities that cost the same. The indirect cost for each duration is $$1,500$ for $17$ weeks, $$1,450$ for $16$ weeks, $$1,400$ for $15$ weeks, $$1,350$ for $14$ weeks, $$1,300$ for $13$ weeks, and $$1,250$ for $12$ weeks.
