Exam 10: Project Scheduling: Lagging, Crashing, and Activity Networks

An activity performed by a subcontractor is scheduled for 20 weeks at an anticipated cost of $100,000.Due to slippage on the critical path you need to reduce this activity by three weeks.If the subcontractor informs you that the activity can be completed in 16 weeks for $200,000,what is the slope for the activity?
