Negative float Time refers to the time which is beyond the time taken in completion of the project task earlier projected.
Yes, it is possible for an activity to have a negative float time.
refer to float time, it is the time-delayed for a project without affecting the deadline of the project. But negative float time indicates the negative delay in completion of the project which affects the project deadline.
Therefore, this negative float time should be covered as fast as possible. It may be due to any scheduling problem also. Like if the project starting date has been set earlier of when it actually started, then its end date is also set prior to which it should have been set and it leads to negative float Time.
OR there are chances that there is some error in the production part that is delaying the completion of tasks at time. The errors should be checked and rectified as early as possible.
Therefore, it can be said that negative float Time is possible for a project.

What is the expected profit?Preliminary plans are under way for the construction of a new stadium for a major league baseball team. City officials have questioned the number and profitability of the luxury corporate boxes planned for the upper deck of the stadium. Corporations and selected individuals may buy the boxes for $310,000 each. The fixed construction cost for the upper deck area is estimated to be $4,960,000, with a variable cost of $155,000 for each box constructed. (a) What is the break-even point for the number of luxury boxes in the new stadium? X = (b) Preliminary drawings for the stadium show that space is available for the construction of up to 52 luxury boxes. Promoters indicate that buyers are available and that all 52 could be sold if constructed. (i) What is your recommendation concerning the construction of luxury boxes? Build the luxury boxes. Do not build the luxury boxes. (ii) What profit is anticipated (in dollars)? (Enter a negative value if a predicted loss.)10.6 This optional problem requires knowledge of statistics.

Heywood’s corporate cost of capital is 10 percent. What is the project’s expected NPV on the basis of the scenario analysis? What is the project’s standard deviation of NPV? Assume that Heywood’s managers judge the project to have lower-than-average risk. Furthermore, the company’s policy is to adjust the corporate cost of capital up or down by 3 percentage points to account for differential risk. Is the project financially attractive?
