AACE International CCP Exam - Topic 1 Question 19 Discussion

Actual exam question for AACE International's CCP exam

Question #: 19
Topic #: 1

Develop a CPM method considering the below tasks and logical relationships. Use this information to answer the related questions.

What is the late finish date of activity 50?

ADay 47

BDay 38

CDay 28

DDay 37

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

To determine the late finish date of Activity 50 using the CPM method, you would consider the latest finish times of its successors. The path through the project network would lead to the calculation that the latest possible time that Activity 50 can finish without delaying the project is Day 37. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Day 37.

I feel like Day 47 could be the answer, but I need to double-check the critical path we discussed in our last session.

I’m a bit confused about how to determine the late finish without the full diagram. Did we cover how to backtrack from the end date?

I think the late finish for activity 50 might be Day 38, similar to a question we did in class about task dependencies.

I remember we practiced calculating late finish dates, but I'm not sure if I got the logic right for this one.

I'm a bit unsure about how to approach this. Maybe I should review my CPM notes and examples before attempting to solve the problem. Don't want to make any silly mistakes on the exam.

Okay, I've got this. I'll use the forward and backward pass calculations to find the late finish date for activity 50. I'm confident I can solve this question.

Hmm, the task dependencies and durations are a bit confusing. I'll need to carefully analyze the information provided and double-check my work to make sure I get the right answer.

This looks like a classic CPM problem. I'll start by drawing out the network diagram and identifying the critical path to determine the late finish date for activity 50.

Ah, the eternal debate of CPM. I say we just flip a coin and move on to the next question. Who needs logic when you have luck?

I'm not so sure about that. I think the correct answer is Day 37. The network diagram looks a bit tricky, but if you follow the logic, that's the right answer.
