Question 16

H & W construction have been awarded a job to replace the vinyl and carpet throughout Mr.Bruce's house.The team has prepared the following estimates.Below are the activities and times for installing a laminate floor.   
Construct the appropriate network diagram and label the ES,EF,LS,and LF times.Alternatively,create the table of ES,EF,LS,and LF.What is the critical path? How many hours are in the critical path? Mrs.Bruce needs this time estimate to plan an upcoming party.Mrs.Bruce is hosting a house and garden party for her daughter,Daisy,and is anxious for the team to complete the project.H & W Construction will be paid an extra $15 per hour for early completion (any time less than the critical path).Tasks B,I,and J can be shortened.B by 2 hours;I and J by 5 hours;each reduction will cost $12 per hour.Which if any of the three tasks will you shorten?
