4. a.) A-D G is the critical path because it has the longest activity time. The length of the critical
path is 15 months (4+6+5).

b.) There is no anticipation of difficulty in meeting the deadline because it will be completed
within the allotted time.

6. a.) Start-A-D-F-H-Finish is the critical path because it the path gives the longest duration of
time.
b.) Completion time is 5+6+3+8= 22
c.) No, it cannot be delayed because it is a critical activity.
d.) Yes, it can be delayed because it is not a critical activity, it can be delayed up to a week or 7
days.
e.) The schedule on activity E is 7 days, therefore it can be delayed up to a week.

8. a.) Project Network

b.) Start-B-C-E-F-H-End is the critical path. The expected project completion time is 49 weeks.
c.) Project Schedule

d. It appears to be reasonable to begin the construction of the complex 1 year after the decision to
begin the project with the survey and initial design because a year has 52 weeks while the
expected project completion time is 49 weeks.
