The below is extracted/prepared in ms projects file with the above information from case study

There are 2 resources that are over allocated (R&D and marketing staff) and 4 activities (Shelf life report, nutrition report, market testing and select distributors) that have resources over allocated.
Need assistance with detailed analysis and explanation to the following questions:
- For each resource that is over allocated, explain when and by how much they are over allocated
- Resource graph to show the over allocation for each activity and by how many percentage or duration with an explanation
- Assume that the project is time constrained and try to resolve any over allocation problems by levelling within slack. Give a detailed report of what happens? (note: the project duration should still be 140 days when once you have levelled inside of slack)
- What is the impact of levelling within slack on the sensitivity of the network? Explain what this is?
- Assume the project is resource constrained and resolve any over allocation by levelling outside of slack. Give a detailed report of what happens?
