• Total Normal Cost = Direct Cost + Indirect Cost
• Direct Cost= Sum of normal Costs of all activities
• Indirect Cost = No. of days X Cost per day.
• Crash Slope = Crash Cost-Normal Cost = Cc-Nc
Normal Time - Crash Time Nt-Ct

Critical Path :1-2—5 1-2-5 = 18 Days
Normal Project Completion Time = 18 days 1-2-4-5 = 13 days
1-3-4-5 = 12 days
Total Normal Cost = Direct Cost + Indirect Cost

= 580 + (70 x 18) Direct Cost = Sum of normal Costs of all activities
= 1840 = 100 + 150 + 50 + 100 + 100 + 80 = 580
Indirect Cost = No. of days X Cost per day.
