An activity has a normal time of 8 days at a cost of ₱10,000 and a crash time of 5 days at a cost of ₱14,000. What is its crash cost per day?

  1. ₱4,000.00
  2. ₱1,750.00
  3. ₱2,800.00
  4. ₱1,333.33

Answer

D. ₱1,333.33

Solution

Cost slope = (crash cost − normal cost)/(normal time − crash time) = 4000/3 = ₱1,333.33 per day.
