70. The total completion time is 25 days. Task A is planned to take seven days. Task B is planned to take five days. Task
C is planned to take eight days. The tasks have a serial relationship. Task A takes nine days to be completed instead of
seven days. What are the ES and EF times for Task B now that Task A is complete?
a. ES = 9, EF = 14
b. ES = 7, EF = 12
c. ES = 5, EF = 14
d. ES = 5, EF = 12
ANSWER: a
FEEDBACK: a. The finish time for Task A is nine days. The ES for Task B is the same as the finish time
for Task A. The EF for Task B is the ES of Task B + Estimated Duration of Task B = 9+5
= 14 days.
b. The finish time for Task A is nine days. The ES for Task B is the same as the finish time
for Task A. The EF for Task B is the ES of Task B + Estimated Duration of Task B = 9+5
