Answer:

Acitivy B should be crashed first by 2 days and Activity B has a crash cost per days of $25, it will be crashed for a total of $50.

Explanation:

activity A =

normal time (NT) = 5 days

Normal cost (NC) = $0

crash time (CT) = 3 days

Crash cost (CC) = $500

crash cost per day = [CC - NC]/[CT - NT] = $250/day

activity B:

normal time (NT) = 6 days

Normal cost (NC) = $0

crash time (CT) = 4 days

Crash cost (CC) = $50

crash cost per day = [CC - NC]/[CT - NT] = $25/day

activity C:

normal time (NT) = 8 days

Normal cost (NC) = $0

crash time (CT) = 3 days

Crash cost (CC) = $1000

crash cost per day = [CC - NC]/[ CT- NT] = $200/day

The activity that takes the least cost to speed up is the first one to be crashed. from the computations, activity B takes the least cost to speed up, so the project manager should crash activity B first by 2 days.

Therefore, Acitivy B should be crashed first by 2 days and Activity B has a crash cost per days of $25, it will be crashed for a total of $50.

Sarah is planning a party at a party hall. The meal option is $50 per person and includes the hall for free. The hall-only optio
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

meal option  is cheaper with total cost = $2000 and hall only option is total cost  $2700

Explanation:

given data

The meal option = $50 per person.

Hall free = $ 0 per person

total guest = 40

hall-only option = $1,500

external caterer = $30 per person

solution

when we go for meal option than hall free so total cost will be as

total cost = total guest  × $50 per person

total cost = 40 × $50

total cost = $2000

and

when we go for hall only option than total cost will be

total cost = total guest   × external caterer charge + hall-only option

total cost =  40  × $30 + $1500

total cost =   $2700

so

meal option  is cheaper with total cost = $2000 and hall only option is total cost  $2700
