A project manager is faced with the following activities and times associated with a building construction for a cancer research facility. Each activity can be crashed at most by 2 weeks. The cost associated with each week time reduction is given below. (note: The 1st crash and 2nd crash costs are associated with the first and second time that a specific activity is crashed. So, if you crash Activity A once, the cost is $9,000, if you have to crash Activity A a second time, the cost is $9,500)

Crash Costs
Activity Immediate Predecessor Normal Time (weeks) 1st crash 2nd crash

A 3 $9,000 $9,500
B A 6 $3,500 $6,000
C А 7 $4,000 $5,000
D B 7 $4,500 $6,000
E C 5 $7,000 $7,500
F D,E 8 $10,000 $12,000
G F 2 $14,000 $16,000

What is the minimum cost to crash this project by 2 weeks?

a. $12,000
b. $9,000
c. $16,000
d. $3,500

Answer:

$12000 ( A )

Explanation:

Calculate The minimum cost to crash this project by 2 weeks

To get the minimum cost to crash this project in 2 weeks we have to first  look to crash the activity on the critical path that has the lowest cost of crashing from the first week

critical path: A-B-D-F-G = 25 weeks

After crashing Activity B by 1 week both paths become critical paths hence we need to crash activity C and D by 1 week each so that the paths can crash simultaneously within 2 weeks

therefore the overall crash cost for 2 weeks will be

crash costs of Activities : B + C + D ( 1st crashes)

                                       = 3500 + 4000 + 4500

                                       = $12000

Determine whether each statement describes the income effect, the substitution effect, or neither. Assume that all other variables are held constant. The price of lobster doubles, making Henri feel less wealthy. As a result, Henri buys fewer lobsters. The price of chicken falls by $0.75 a pound. Since chicken is now relatively less expensive than ground beef, Mary buys more chicken and less beef. The average price of a DVD falls by 15 percent. Tom buys more DVDs because his monthly movie budget can now stretch further. Model Planes Incorporated reduces production of its wooden plane product line. Jessica sees that the price of orange juice is higher this week. She decides to buy less orange juice and more apple juice because orange juice is relatively more expensive.

Agreement and disagreement among economists Suppose that Yakov, an economist from a research institute in Texas, and Ana, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over health insurance. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Ana: A popular topic for debate among politicians as well as economists is the idea of providing government assistance for health benefits.
Yakov: I think it is oppressive for the government to tax people who take care of themselves in order to pay for health insurance for those who are obese.
Ana: I disagree. I think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due todifferences in values.
Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
A. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
B. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
C. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.

Managers and leaders perform many tasks as a result of their goals and objectives. Even though many tasks may be completed as a result of their responsibilities, each task may be categorized into one of four functions of management. Management is a process. This process is what allows managers and leaders to achieve organizational and personal goals. Included within this process are four functions of management. These four functions include planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Each of these functions is an important aspect of the management process and must be implemented to achieve organizational goals.

Hilary sells bottled water from a small stand by the beach. On the last day of summer vacation, many people are on the beach, and Hilary realizes that she can make a lot more money this day if she hires someone to walk up and down the beach selling water. She finds a college student named Edison and makes him the following offer: They'll each sell water all day and split their earnings (revenue minus the cost of water) equally at the end of the day. Hilary knows that if they both work hard, Edison will earn $90 on the beach and Hilary will earn $240 at her stand, so they will each take home half of their total revenue: If Edison shirks, he'll generate only $60 in earnings. Hilary does not know that Edison estimates his personal cost (or disutility) of working hard as opposed to shirking at $30. Once out of Hilary's sight, Edison faces a dilemma: work hard (put in full effort) or shirk (put in low effort).In terms of Edison's total utility, it is worse for him to ____(work hard or shirk).
