(a) For each activity in the graph, calculate the slack.

(b) What is the critical path?

(c) Suppose that an extra member of staff is available who can work on either
activity BE or activity BC, but not both.

i If she works on activity BE, the time estimate for BE is reduced from 5
weeks to 3 weeks. How much would the elapsed time to complete the
complete project be reduced?

ii If she works on activity BC, the time estimate for BC is reduced from 9
weeks to 6 weeks. How much would the elapsed time to complete the
complete project be reduced?
