2. What is the cost required for completing the project?
3. If we want to reduce the completion date by one week, what activity should we choose
to crash?
4. What is the maximum time that can be crashed and how much would cost increase?

1. How long does it take to complete the project?
2. What is the probability of finishing in 270 days?
3. If it is necessary to crash to 250 or 240 days, what is the cost to increase? Assuming that
the optimistic time can be used as crash time.
