Hi, I need help answering the last question.
Rob Smith is managing a small project at Boston University. He is under pressure to shorten the overall duration of the project by 4 weeks and he wants to do so at the lowest cost possible. In order to meet this objective a number of activities must be crashed.
| Activity | Normal Time (weeks) | Crashed Time (weeks) | Normal Cost | Crashed Cost | Predecessor(s) | |
| A | 5 | 3 | $800 | $1,200 | - | |
| B | 6 | 5 | $300 | $450 | - | |
| C | 6 | 5 | $550 | $775 | - | |
| D | 3 | 2 | $750 | $950 | A | |
| E | 6 | 3 | $1,350 | $2,250 | C | |
| F | 5 | 3 | $675 | $875 | B |
What is the total cost of crashing the project 4 weeks (just the additional cost, not total project cost)? (Display your answer to two decimal places.)
