Purpose of Forward pass is to determine except which of the following:a.Early Start timeb.Early finish timec.Critical pathd.Cost

The purpose of a forward pass in project management is to determine:

a. Early Start time: This is the earliest time that an activity can start, assuming all preceding activities start as early as possible.

b. Early Finish time: This is the earliest time that an activity can finish, assuming it starts as early as possible and there are no delays.

c. Critical path: This is the sequence of project activities which add up to the longest overall duration. This determines the shortest time possible to complete the project.

However, the forward pass does not directly determine:

d. Cost: While the forward pass can help with cost estimation by identifying the critical path and thus the timeline of the project, it does not directly determine the cost. Costs are typically determined by factors such as labor rates, material costs, and overhead, which are not directly related to the sequence and timing of activities.
