A.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: A network diagram representing the activities of the project is to be constructed.

Concept Introduction: Network diagram is a graphical representation of tasks and events happening in a project. It depicts the work flow and is used to compute the total duration of the project.

B.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The critical path is to be identified by computing the earliest and the latest start and finish times.

Concept Introduction: Network diagram is a graphical representation of tasks and events happening in a project. It depicts the work flow and is used to compute the total duration of the project.

C.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The optimal solution for the project is to be determined by expediting the project one day at a time. The duration, cost and savings of the optimal solution are to be computed.
