Forward pass:

E1 = 0

E2 = 0 + 22 = 22

E3 = (0 + 27) (or) (22 + 12) = 34 [Maximum of both]

E4 = (22 + 14) (or) (34 + 16) = 40

E5 = 40 + 12 = 52

Backward pass:

L5 = 32

L4 = 52 – 12 = 40

L3 = 40 – 6 = 34

L2 = (40 – 14) (or) (34 – 12) = 22 [Minimum of both]

L1 = 22 – 22 = 0

EFT and LFT are the same for 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5. 

So critical path is 1-2-3-4-5 time to complete is 52 days.
