You wish to hire Ricky to manage your Dallas operations. The profits from the operations depend

partially on how hard Ricky works, as follows:

Probabilities

Profit = $10,000

Profit = $50,000

Lazy Worker

60%

40%

Hard Worker

20%

80%

If Ricky is lazy, he will surf the Internet all day, and he views this as a zero cost opportunity.

However, Ricky would view working hard as a personal cost valued at $1,000. What fixedpercentage

of the profits should you offer Ricky? Assume Ricky only cares about his expected

payment less any personal cost.
