Question
Paul hires Amy to manage his bakery shop. The following table gives the shop's profits (without
subtracting payments to Amy) under 3 different levels of Amy's effort and two different states of the
world (good and bad weather). There is an 80% probability that the weather would turn good.
Bad weather (20%)
Good weather (80%)
Low Effort
200
400
Medium Effort
400
800
High Effort
800
1000
The cost of low effort is $10, medium effort $20 and high effort $40. Paul offers a fixed salary of
$100 and bonus B if revenue is equal to or higher than $800 and nothing otherwise. What should
be the minimum value of B so that Amy would put high effort?
