Given that an activity's normal time and cost are 10 days and $400, respectively, and its crash time and cost are 5 days and $800, respectively, what is the activity's slope?
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
Answer will vary
Crash cost per time unit equals the cost slope. Cost slope equals rise/run; therefore, (crash cost - normal cost)/(normal time - crash time) = ($800 - $400)/(10 - 5) = $80 per day.
