To calculate the expected finish time for each activity, we have to calculate the ES (earliest time)
Because task 2 start time is 0, there is no ES for this task. It lasts for a total of 70 days.
Therefore, the formula for determining the early finish of activity 2 is as follows:
= 0+70
= 70
Since task 2 precedes task 3, the EF of task 2 is Earliest start of task 3. The EF of task 3 is:
EF = 70+30
= 100
Now that 19 has two predecessors, the one with the higher EF will serve as the activity's ES. EF

Five activities precede activity 20 that is activity 8, 11,13,15,19. Since the EF of 19 is 925, which
is highest among other predecessors, therefore is used as the Earliest Start for activity 20.
As such,
Early Finish for task 20 = 20 + 925 = 945
Therefore, the total amount of time needed to finish the project is 945 days.
The time span from July 3, 2017 and April 3, 2020 is exactly 1005 days. As a result, the project
will likely be complete by April 3.
Question 2
To find the critical path, calculate the total days for every path.
Path 2-3-4-5-6-9-10-14-18-19-20 = 945
Path 2-3-4-5-6-9-11-20 = 760
Path 1-2-3-4-16-17-19-20 = 500
Path 2-3-4-5-6-8-20 = 640
Path 2-3-4-5-6-9-10-15-20 = 840
Path 2-3-4-5-6-9-13-20 = 790
The critical path is the one that takes the most time.
Therefore, Path 2-3-4-5-6-9-10-14-18-19-20 can be takes as the critical path since it takes the
maximum days to complete (945) of all possible paths.

Question 3
I recommend G&E pursue the contract since the project will likely be complete by April 3 therefore no penalties are likely to be
incurred.
