(QB) is a specialized firm that constructs private home dwellings for rich
customers. QB uses a standardized project format for each assignment of house construction
projects. Only activity times and unusual circumstances change the standard network. Fatima Al
Khurasaani has been assigned to a rich client as project manager to construct a beautiful mansion
for him. The rich client is known as Abu Hatem for his generosity and kindness. Fatima has told
Abu Hatem that a mansion of this size would typically be completed in one year and six months
(about 78 weeks). Abu Hatem wants Fatima to complete the project three months earlier, before
his son's marriage, which is scheduled to take place in about 15 months from now in one year and
three months (about 65 weeks). He has told Fatima that if the mansion is completed in 65 weeks,
he will give the firm $100,000 extra as a bonus besides paying the negotiated construction price
of $3 million for the mansion. He has also further added that for any further reduction from 65
weeks, he would compensate the firm with $10,000 per week. Fatima has compiled the network
information and activity times for this project, given in Table 1, as follows:
