B 6 3 20000 40000
C 2 1 5000 10000

F 3 1 30000 39000
G 9 4 80000 98000
H 3 2 10000 20000a

In the above table normal and crash times are in weeks. Costs are in dollars and represent the costs associated with the job in the specified period. For instance, Phase A will normally take 3 weeks and cost $9000, OR $3000 PER WEEK. To crash the job to one week, the total cost will be $17000 for the week, thus it will cost $4000 for each week crashed.
