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?
