QUESTION 1 To complete the rotor assembly for an experimental spacecraft, Gilbert has laid out nine major activities involved. These activities have been labelled Atol in the table below, which also shows their estimated completion times (in weeks) and their immediate predecessors. EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES FOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY Activities Times (in weeks) Preceding Event A 2 3 . 2 1 4 A c 4 5 D 3 30 A E 2 5 8 F 4 5 6 G 1 2 3 F.D H 3 5 EF 1 4 6 HG Key is optimist time, mis the most likely time and is the pessimistic time . 19 Calculate the expected time for each activity Draw a Gantt Chart from the same information above (7) ili. State the critical path and the maximum number of weeks the project will take to be completed (3) iv. tool? 16) What are the pros and cons of using the Gantt chart as a planning and scheduling (25 marks) QUESTION 2 a) Bweupe & Sons has fixed costs of K10,000 for the period. Their direct labour cost is K1.50 per unit and material input cost is KO.75 per unit. The selling price per unit is K4.00 1. Calculate the Break-even point in units. (3) ii. What does it translate to in Kwacha? (3) b) What are the principal uses of the Break-Even analysis as a planning tool? c) What are two advantages and two disadvantages of using the Break-Even analysis as a planning tool. d) ...The rules of business never changed. You have fixed costs, you have variable costs, and you have profit margin. And that is it. If you don't have a handle on that stuff, then there's nothing else to talk about if there is no profit margin, you're in trouble. What is the connection between the above statement and the Break-Even analysis?
