Hi,
I have a question about the following question. How many more employees have to be on team that will work on project A if the company wants to finish project within 72 days?
In the actual assignment, there was a table and you had to use the information from the table, so let me share the info from the table below (probably not all information is relevant for this question):
Project A Overview
No employees: 18
No of days: 95
Budgeted spend ($): 32000
Actual spend ($): 30000
Question: How many more employees have to be on team that will work on project A if the company wants to finish project within 72 days?
The answer suggested is: (18*95)/72 = 23.75 ( -> rounded ca. 24); 24 - 18 = 6 -> 6 employees have to join.
I really dont understand this logic. I dont understand why you can calculate 18 employees * 95 days if 95 days are the total project days.
I would have started like this:
No of days 95/ No of employees 18 = 5.27
5.27 * 72 days = 379.44
Difference:
379.44 - 18 = 361.44
I know the correct answer, which is 6 more employees, and even from a logical perspective, 361.44 looks way too big... they certainly dont need that many people. But I dont know how to calculate it to get 6 employees.
Could you please:
- Explain me this logic or
- Share an alternative calculation to derive to the correct answer?
Please help. Thank you so much.
