Question $17$

A completion date for a project has been determined to be on a Wednesday. $($We don't need to worry about the month or the year

for this question:$)$ Upon completion of the initial project schedule it is realized that several holidays were omitted from the

schedule. These holidays were left out and need to be added to the schedule. They are Christmas Day, New Year's Day, the $4$ th of

July, and Thanksgiving Day. $($We can assume a regular $5-$day, $40-$hour week.$)$ All of these holidays occur on a weekday $($i$.$e$.,$ not a

weekend$).$ Which of the following correctly captures the effect of the addition of these holidays for the project schedule?

Four workdays are added to the project schedule meaning it will now finish on a Monday. The total number of workdays for the project increases

by $4.$

The project will be extended by four days, finishing on a Saturday.

Four workdays are added to the project schedule meaning it will now finish on a Tuesday. The total number of workdays for the project increases

by $4.$

The four workdays are converted to holidays being replaced by four weekdays that are now converted into workdays. The total number of

workdays will remain the same. The project will finish on a Monday.

There is no effect on the schedule for the project $...$ the project will still finish on the same Wednesday as originally determined.

The four workdays are converted to holidays being replaced by four weekdays that are now converted into workdays. The total number of

workdays will remain the same. The project will finish on a Tuesday.
