Total float (TF) = LS - ES = LF - EF, where LS = Latest allowable Start, ES = Earliest possible Start, LF = Latest allowable Finish, EF = Earliest possible Finish. TF = 0 implies a critical activity (on the critical path); any delay directly delays project completion. Free float = min(ES_successors) - EF of that activity. Total float = LS-ES = LF-EF = 1 days.
