Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The late start date for an activity is the latest possible date that an activity can start without delaying the project. To calculate the late start date for activity C, we start from the project deadline (day 14) and subtract the activity duration (6 days) to get the latest possible start date for activity C, which is day 8. However, in this case, the predecessor activity (B) has a total float of 2 days, which means activity C can start 2 days later without delaying the project. Therefore, the late start date for activity C is day 10.
