Your company uses Project Professional 2013. You are building a schedule by using predecessors to
help determine a logical duration. The following image shows a baselined list of tasks with
predecessors:
You have been told that Task C is optional, and you recommend inactivating the task to keep it
visible on the schedule. You need to determine what the results are to the schedule when
inactivating Task C. How should you answer?
A.
The finish date is reduced by four working days, cost remains unchanged, and baseline cost is
reduced by $400.
B.
The finish date is reduced by five working days, cost remains unchanged, and baseline cost is
unchanged.
C.
The finish date is reduced by six working days, cost is reduced by $400, and baseline cost is
reduced by $400.
D.
The finish date is reduced by four calendar days, cost is reduced by $400, and baseline cost is
reduced by $400.
E.
The finish date is reduced by six calendar days, cost is reduced by $400, and baseline cost is
unchanged.
Inactivating tasks will affect the cost, not schedule or resource availability

Microsoft Project Professional 2010 enables you to cancel a task but keep a record of the task in the project plan. This is called inactivating the task. The task remains in the project plan, but does not affect resource availability, the project schedule, or how other tasks are scheduled.
It remains in the plan right, however the schedule has to be changed otherwise the duration of the inactive task will stay as off work
