Do following MS Project exercise.  This is an individual assignment.  Answer the questions assigned to your team.

–  For questions 1 and 3 –Resources and Costs – Groups 1, 3, and 5 (Apple, Citrus, Eggplant)

–  For questions 2 and 4 –Resources and Costs – Groups 2, 4 and 6 (Banana, Dates, Figs).

Note:  Please carefully note which exercises you are to do.  That was not a typo.  The exercises you are to do are not consecutive.  Rather, both groups include both labor and non-labor questions/exercises.  Group A is to do the odd numbered exercises (D.1 and D.3) and Group B is to do the even numbered exercises (D.2, and D.4).

Important Note:

These are individual homework assignments, not team projects. However, half the class (student Group A) will do exercises D.1 and D.3 and the other half of the class (student Group B) will do exercises D.2 and D.4.  Nobody needs to do both exercises.  The student groups (A and B) are the same groups as those used for the Week 2 homework and are not related to the student ITP project teams.

Resources and Costs

Please write all your response in a single MS Word document covering all questions and exercises, and paste (do not attach) the screen shots into the document in-line with your text. It makes it much easier to read — and grade. Please include screen shots of each step, not just one screen shot before or one after.
