Question

Use the information contained below 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(s) was crashed and the adjusted total cost. Note: The correct normal project duration, critical path, and total direct cost are provided.
ctivity Crash cost Maximum


ID (Slope) Crash Time Normal time Normal cost

A 50 1 3 $150

B 100 1 3 100

C 60 2 4 200

D 60 2 3 200

E 70 1 4 200

F 0 0 1 150



Total direct normal costs $1,000

Answer 1

Answer:

See explaination and attachment

Explanation:

We can look at The project total time-cost relationship to be determined by adding up the direct cost and indirect cost values together. The optimum project duration can be determined as the project duration that results in the least project total cost.
