found these questions. guess the answers..

 

 

James has been managing a hotel construction project in a busy street. He is in the process of estimating

activity durations for building walls and calculates the Expected activity duration as 14 days. If pre-fabricated

material is used, it would take no more than 12 days to finish the work. However, the work may be delayed

and could take up to 18 days if less experienced construction workers are used to build the walls. But, the

engineer in-charge of the work estimates the duration as 8 days when pre-fabricated material is used. What

is the most likely estimate, if the engineer's estimation is

assumed correct?

a. 12 days

b. 11 days

c. 15 days

d. 14 days

 

whats the answer.

 

Rodney is in the process of preparing the project performance report for the team meeting. He is expecting

many questions from his stakeholders on the budget and schedule. He calculates the following values;

Budget at Completion (BAC) = $22,000, Earned Value (EV) = $13000, Planned Value (PV) = $ 14000, Actual

cost (AC) = $15000. What is the Estimate at Completion (EAC) for the project if the work is performed at the

budgeted rate?

a. $24000

b. $36000

c. $22500

d. $37000

 

Whats the answer for this too..

For EAC budgeted Rate Apply EAC=AC+BAC-EV comes upto $24000

[Shanti Narayanan]

Hi,

 

Thanks manickavel.

 

Question 2 answer is $24000

 

Question 1 answer is 15 days

 

Te 14 days To 8 days Tp 18 days

4Tm =(6Te-To-Tp) = (84-8-18)=58

Tm=15 days.(14.5 days)

For Question No. 2, the answer is: EAC=AC+BAC-EV = $24000.

Hello All,

What do you think is the answer to this question?

Start dates in the following network logic diagram are defined as early morning, finish dates are evening.

If tasks are scheduled to begin at early start date, what is true?

Activity B has a free float of 10 d.

Activity B has a total float of 10 d.

Activity A has a free float of 10 d.

Activity A has a total float of 10 d.

the answer is: "

"

As the network diagram, seems to be continuing to next tasks, we can't measure of "TOTAL FLOAT" . ACD is critical path, only B is left with 10d FLOAT.

[Sameer Wakude]

Activity B has total float of 10d.

Total float = LS - ES = 26 - 16 = 10

Free float = ES of next activity - LS of current activity=31-31=0

Hi,

 

I got it from christopher scordo 1000QA. Pls note that either they are asking Expected duration or  any one P,M,O.

I have altered the question slightly to get Most likely. Answer is 15 days for M. but if we do that way we get in decimal points(14.33) instead of 15 days. anyways correct answer is 15 days.

is the expected duration of building walls using the three-point estimate, if the engineer's estimation is

A.

12 days

B.

11 days

C.

15 days

D.

14 days

D - If the engineer is correct, the optimistic estimate can be taken as 8 days. The pessimistic estimate is still 18 days

and the most likely estimate is 15 days. Using the PERT or the three-point technique, the expected activity duration is

calculated using the formula Te = (To + 4Tm + Tp)/6, where Te is the estimated duration, To is optimistic duration,

Tm is the most likely duration and Tp is the pessimistic duration. Hence, Te = (8 +60 +18)/6 = 14 days

(approximately.) Therefore, 14 days is the correct answer. [PMBOK 4th edition, Page 150] [Project Time Management]

Hi Kishore, where did you got 15?

P=18, M= 12 , O= 8

(18 + 4*12+8)/6 = 12.33, so A is correct answer

Hi Shanti,

I think the question 1 which you have taken has something wrong. Can you please recheck the question again. I feel the question should be something like this...

A) 12 days

B) 11days

C) 15 days

D) 14 days

Answer should be D.  (P+4M+0)/6=(18+4*15+8)/6 = 86/6=14.33. 

If not, do you have the answer for the same with explanation, it would be great if you can share it.
