I have been given a Decision Tree where A is 4 days B is 5 days, C is 2 days, D is 2 days, E is 3 days, F is two days and G is 7 days. I have been told that the benefits are $100.00 per day to crash the project.

I have also been given a chart which says that:

A has a crash duration of 2 days and a slope of 110
B has a crash duration of 2 days and a slope of 40
C has a crash duration of 1 day and a slope of 10
D has a crash duration of 1 day and a slope of 50
E has a crash duration of 3 days and no slope?
F has a crash duration of 1 day and a slope of 40
G has a crash duration of 6 days and a slope of 20

The instructions are to crash the project as far as practical. Can someone show me how this type of problem is done?
