Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the estimated completion time of the project, we need to find the longest path through the project, known as the critical path. - A starts at day 0 and takes 6 days, so it finishes on day 6.- B starts at day 0 and takes 8 days, so it finishes on day 8.- C requires A and B to be complete, so it can start on day 8 (the later of the two) and takes 5 days, finishing on day 13.- D can start after B finishes on day 8 and takes 4 days, finishing on day 12.- E can start after C finishes on day 13 and takes 7 days, finishing on day 20.- F requires C and D, so it can start on day 13 (after C finishes, which is later than D) and takes 3 days, finishing on day 16.- G can start after D finishes on day 12 and takes 6 days, finishing on day 18.- H requires E, F, and G, so it can start after the latest of these, which is E on day 20, and takes 5 days, finishing on day 25.Therefore, the estimated completion time of the project is 25 days.
