Total float: It is the amount of time that the completion time of an activity can be delayed without affecting project completion time.
Mathematically, Total Float = (Lj - Ei) - tij
Calculation:
∴ Total Float = (Lj - Ei) - tij = 16 - 10 - 4 = 2 week
Additional Information
Free float: It is the amount of time that the activity completion time can be delayed without affecting the earliest start time of the immediate successor activities in the network.
Mathematically, Free Float = (Ej - Ei) - tij
Independent Float: Amount by which an activity can be delayed without delaying the project; even if all predecessors are at Late Finish and all Successors are at Early Start.
Mathematically, Independent Float = (Ej - Li) - tij
