The Project X Files has the network diagram, activity duration, and cost information given below. The network with the normal activity times shown in days: The following table shows the normal times and the crash times, along with the associated costs for each activity: As a project manager, you have the following questions in mind: If the project is to be shortened by five days, which activities, in order of reduction, would be shortened and the resulting cost. After brainstorming several hours, your findings are as follows: 1. Current critical path, and corresponding project completion time and the project completion cost for this project are as follows: - Current Critical Path A-C-D-F-G. - Project Completion Time 25 days. - Project Completion Cost $35,000. 2. After shortening the project by 4 days: - Critical Paths will be A-B-D-F-G and A-C-D-F-G (Yes, there will be two critical paths). - Project Completion Time will be 21 days. - Project Completion Cost will be $40,200. Now, you need to shorten the project by one more day (5 days in total). Complete this task and answer the following questions. Hint: Watch the help video available in Week \#12 Module. Video includes instructions for the first 4 iterations (how to shorten the project by 4 days). After completing the 4th iteration, you need to do one more iteration by yourself. Question \#1 After shortening the project by 5 days, the number of critical paths in the project will be A. 0 (zero) B. 1 C. 2 D. 2.25 E. 3 F. 4 G. 5 H. 6 I. 7 J. Cannot be determined using the given information. K. None of the above. Question \#2 After shortening the project by 5 days, the project completion cost will be A. $0 (Free!) B. $35,000 C. $36,000 D. $38,700 E. $40,200 F. $41,000 G. $41,200 H. $41,700 I. $42,200 J. $42,224.33 K. $47,500 L. $75,200 M. Cannot be determined using the given information. N. None of the above
