Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The latest finish time for activity F can be calculated by first determining the critical path and then calculating the latest start and finish times for each activity. The critical path is the longest path through the project, determining the shortest time in which the project can be completed. - Activities A and B can start at day 0. - Activity C, which depends on A, can start after A is finished, i.e., day 3, and takes 4 days, finishing on day 7.- Activity D, also depending on A, can start after A is finished, i.e., day 3, and takes 6 days, finishing on day 9.- Activity E, depending on B, can start after B is finished, i.e., day 4, and takes 5 days, finishing on day 9.- Activity F depends on both C and D, so it can start after the latest of these two is finished, which is day 9, and takes 4 days, finishing on day 13.- Activity G depends on F (and indirectly E), so it can start after F is finished, i.e., day 13, and takes 7 days, finishing on day 20.Therefore, the latest finish time for activity F is day 13.
