Question
Chapter 8. As we saw in Problem Set 2, on a Thursday, Jeanie decided that she would like to have a dinner party for a few of her colleagues and was wondering if Saturday
was a feasible day to have the party or not. She wanted to get an idea of how many hours of work she would need to do to make a fancy dinner ready by 6 PM on
Saturday. She decided to create a project network based on the activities she thought were essential for doing this. We had helped her to identify the critical path by
creating a project network and activity schedule. Now, Jeanie realizes that she has another project that needs to be completed by Saturday and wonders if she can
"outsource" some of her activities by paying someone else to do them, since she only has a total of 6 hours available now instead of her original 12 hours of availability.
Her normal costs and crashing costs along with the crashing time are given in the table below. She wants to minimize her costs, so running a crashing LP model is her best
option.

the following questions:
1. Jeanie's total cost of crashing is $
2. The activities that Jeanie needs to crash are:
1.
by
hours
