  • If a worker accepts a job and chooses {{ name_high_effort }} effort, profits equal wage minus {{ name_high_effort }} cost of effort: wage – {{ high_effort_points_tokens }} {{ currency_plural }} .

Case Total revenue
Employ one worker.
The worker chooses {{ name_high_effort }} effort.		 {{ gain_high_effort_1_worker }}
Employ one worker.
The worker chooses {{ name_low_effort }} effort.		 {{ gain_low_effort_1_worker }}
Employ two workers.
Both workers choose {{ name_high_effort }} effort.		 {{ gain_high_effort_2_workers }} + {{ gain_high_effort_2_workers }} = {{ total_gain_high_effort_2_workers }}
Employ two workers.
One worker chooses {{ name_high_effort }} effort.
The other worker chooses {{ name_low_effort }} effort.		 {{ gain_high_effort_2_workers }} + {{ gain_low_effort_2_workers }} = {{ total_gain_mix_effort_2_workers }}
Employ two workers.
Both workers choose {{ name_low_effort }} effort.		 {{ gain_low_effort_2_workers }} + {{ gain_low_effort_2_workers }} = {{ total_gain_low_effort_2_workers }}
