Effect of acceleration on direct costs

Effect of acceleration on direct costs
2-at the entire project (or ,rather ,the critical path level )
we may have many activities from which to choose . We
always choose the activity that has the least cost for
crashing . As accelerating progresses ,we may have
fewer and more expensive choices .
For the preceding two reasons direct costs usually
increase nonlinearly ( at an increasing rate ) as shown in
the next curve .
