(b) What is the normal project completion cost?
(c) What is the project completion time?
(d) State critical path/s in the network?
(e) Assume that the project manger wants to shorten the project by six DAYS. What crashing decisions do you recommend to meet the desired completion time? When tie, must prefer least cost.
To answer part #(e) MUST fill out the given table and MUST support your work separately.
(f) After completing part (e), fill table below:

Trial #2 |
Trial #5 |
Number of critical path/s before starting |
