Two activities scheduled to be carried out in parallel and using the same scarce resource are independent.
Explanation:
An Israeli physicist named, Eliyahu M. Goldratt developed the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) and introduced it in his book "Critical Chain" in 1997.
The CCPM is a project management methodology used by managers to better manage a project. The CCPM ensures that the project plan is feasible and immune from any uncertainty or statistical fluctuations.
In the CCPM activity network, there are no milestones and all non-critical activities are performed as late as possible.
CCPM adopts the use of drum buffers, so as to ensure extra safety is applied to a project immediately before using constrained resource.
According to Goldratt, two activities scheduled to be carried out in parallel and using the same scarce resource are independent.
Calculation for the total amount of the cash dividend
Since A company's board of directors has votes to declare the cash dividend of $1.10 per share of common stock, this means we have to multiply the cash dividend per share of common stock by the shares outstanding which is $16,500
Using this formula
Cash dividend per share of common stock * Shares outstanding
Let Plug in the formula
$1.10*16,500
=$18,150
Therefore the total amount of the cash dividend will be $18,150
