Q-3 Solve the following project network crashing problem.

Q-4 Solve the following project network crashing problem. Consider indirect expenses of Rs
6,000/day. Calculate the optimal project duration corresponding to the lowest project cost.
Plot the final results graphically.

Q-5 Table Q4.1 gives the budgeted monthly cash-flow requirements for a construction project.
At the end of October 2006, the total actual project expenditure is reported as Rs 114 lakh
and the project progress is reported as 50 per cent.
Draw an S-curve for cumulative cash flows for the project and calculate cost and schedule
performance indices as at the end of October 2006. What is the delay in the project as on
date in number of months?
