Consider a project to produce custom door moldings
for GMC Acadia cross-over vehicles, described in
Table 7.4.

a. If you start the project immediately, when will it be finished?
b. You are interested in completing your project as soon as
possible. You have only one option. Suppose you could
assign Employee A, currently assigned to activity G, to
help Employee B, currently assigned to activity F. Each
week that Employee A helps Employee B will result in
activity G increasing its time by one week and activity F
reducing its time by one week. How many weeks should
Employee A work on activity F?
