Answer to question number 1
a) Identification of the critical path
The above activities can be showcased in the form of diagram that is provided below:

For calculating the critical path, the different paths are
1st path- A>B>C>D>I -28 days

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
3
2nd path- A>E>F>H>I- (5+3+8+6+8)- 30 days
3rd path- A>G>H>I (5+6+6+8)-25 days
4th path- A>E>F>D>I (5+3+8+5+8) -29 days
As, the minimum time that is needed for the project is 30 days and therefore the critical path of
the project is A>E>F>H>I
b) Listing the total and free float for each activity
The figure that is provided below showcase the float for each of the activity.

Total float- LF- EF (Late finish- Early finish)
Free float- ES of next activity- EF
The calculation for total float and free float is done in the below table
Activity Total float (LF- EF) Free float
