Consider the following network with tasks duration in days:

(Note: Task N is a dummy task. It must be included in the relationships but its duration is 0. Be sure its duration is set to 0))

Task	Pessimistic	Likely	Optimistic	Fixed Cost
A	7	5	3	1000
B	3	2	1	600
C	12	7	2	2100
D	12	6	6	1800
E	9	8	7	800
F	24	12	6	2400
G	11	4	3	800
H	7	6	5	1200
I	6	4	2	1600
J	25	17	9	4200
K	7	5	3	3600
L	7	7	7	2100
M	12	10	8	3000
N	-	-	-	-

Project start on Monday 10/31/16. Thursday 11/24/16, Friday 11/25/16, 12/26/16, and 1/2/17 are holidays.

Determine critical path and its duration. When the project will end (date)?

There is a possibility that the starting task K may be delayed by 3 days. Will this impact the project completion date? If yes, when will be the new finish date? (After checking this out, please restore the project to its original schedule).

Assign the following resources to the tasks. All resources will be full time. (Set the leveling to manual first).

Task	Resource	Cost/day
A	R1	200
B	R2	300
C	R3	300
D	R4	300
E	R2	300
F	R4	300
G	R1	200
H	R5	200
I	R6	400
J	R5	200
K	R1	200
L	R3	300
M	R2	300
N	-	-

Check for over-allocation. Which resources are over allocated?

Level if necessary. Then determine the new critical path and duration.

What is the total cost of the project (Fixed+Resource cost)? How much does the project need in the first, second, and third weeks?

(Hint: Use Reports, cost, cash flow to find out weekly budget requirements)
