Question

In a CPM network, a project activity has a normal cost with a normal duration of Rs 200 and 6 days. The same activity has a crash cost and crash duration of Rs 400 and 2 days. The crash cost slope of activity is

Open in App

Solution

Cost slope = $\frac{C_{c} - C_{n}}{T_{n} - T_{c}}$

Cost slope = $\frac{400 - 200}{6 - 2} = \frac{200}{4} = 50$
