The following is a table of activities associated with a project at Bill Figg Enterprises, their durations and what activities each must precede and the crash cost to reduce duration per week:

Activity Duration (weeks) Precedes Crash Cost/week
A (start) 3 B, C $380
B 2 E $110
C 5 F $240
E 2 F $160
F(end) 3 __ $450

Suppose that Bill Figg Enterprises is only given 8 weeks (instead of 11) to complete the project. By how many weeks should each activity be crashed in order to meet the deadline?
Assume that you can crash an activity down to 0 weeks duration.
Activity Each Activity should be reduced by(weeks)
A _______week(s)
B _______week(s)
C _______week(s) (can you explain how get weeks?) book does not show well
E _______week(s)
F _______week(s)
