The assumption in PERT is

Cost of project will always be more than the estimated cost, if no timely corrections are taken
A project can be subdivided into a set of predictable, independent activities
Activities are fixed and can't be changed

According to MAPI formula, the old machine should be replaced by new one when (CAM = Challenger's Adverse minimum DAM = Defender's Adverse minimum)
CAM < DAM
CAM > DAM
CAM = DAM
There is no such criterion
When slack of an activity is negative
It represents a situation where extra resources are available and the completion of project is not delayed
It represents that a programme falls behind schedule and additional resources are required to complete the project in time
The activity is critical and any delay in its performance will delay the completion of whole project
All of the above
