Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The incremental cost to achieve a one-day reduction in the duration of this project in the most cost efficient manner is the cost per day of crashing activity with the lowest crash cost per day or the most cost-effective activity, which is Activity D at $35 per day. Crashing Activity D by one day will bring the project duration from 17 to 16 days, with an incremental cost of $35.
