The finishing work on a building project was to be completed by an ideally sized crew of five workers in 45 days (40-hour workweeks). To accelerate the work, it was decided that the crew size would be increased to eight workers and that a second eight-worker crew would be added to the project. In addition, all workers were scheduled to work 60-hour workweeks (10 hours per day from Monday through Saturday). Assume workers are paid $18 per hour.

a. What is the expected duration of the project with the suggested changes?

b. What is the cost of the acceleration in terms of labor cost alone?
