Question

A project schedule has been updated. The activity placement of spread footing concrete was originally scheduled to begin as early as day 10. The activity duration is 4 days. The actual start day was day 12. The original schedule had a calculated total float of 7 days for this activity. The recalculated total float for the activity, when updated, would be __________.a. 2 days

b. 5 days
c. 6 days
d. 9 days

Answer 1

option (b) 5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Scheduled start of the activity placement = day 10

Duration of the activity = 4 days

The actual start day of the activity = day 12

The original schedule had a calculated total float = 7 days

Now,

the delay in the start of activity placement = 12 - 10 = 2 days

Therefore,

The recalculated total float for the activity, when updated, would be

= original schedule had a calculated total float - delay in the start of activity

= 7 days - 2 days

= 5 days

Hence,

the correct answer is option (b) 5 days
