The information in the table below is available for a large fund-raising project.
a. Determine the critical path and the expected completion time of the project.
b. Plot the total project cost, starting from day 1 to the expected completion date of the project, assuming the earliest start times for each activity. Compare that result to a similar plot for the latest start times. What implication does the time differential have for cash flows and project scheduling?
Activity Activity Time (days) Activity Costs ($) Immediate Predecessor(s)
A 3 100 -
B 4 150 -
C 2 125 A
D 5 175 B
E 3 150 B
F 4 200 C,D
