In CPM, the cost slope is determined by

A. $$\frac{{{\text{Crash cost}}}}{{{\text{Normal cost}}}}$$

B. $$\frac{{{\text{Crash cost}} - {\text{Normal cost}}}}{{{\text{Normal time}} - {\text{Crash time}}}}$$

C. $$\frac{{{\text{Normal cost}}}}{{{\text{Crash cost}}}}$$

D. $$\frac{{{\text{Normal cost}} - {\text{Crash cost}}}}{{{\text{Normal time}} - {\text{Crash time}}}}$$

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The term 'cost-slope' is defined as the “increase in the cost of the activity per unit decrease in the time”.
Cost slope = $$\frac{{{\text{Crash cost}} - {\text{Normal cost}}}}{{{\text{Normal time}} - {\text{Crash time}}}}$$
