Task Instructions
Employee A and Employee B each have a new project. For each of these projects, you have 100 points which you may invest and/or keep for yourself, in any proportion that you choose.
Each point that you invest in a given project will result in three points of profit for that employee. The employee will then decide how much of this profit (if any) to keep and how much of this profit (if any) to return to you.
Your total earnings for this task will be the amount you keep from your initial 100 points (if any) for each project, plus the points each employee returns to you (if any).
You will only have one opportunity to invest in each employee’s project, and project results will not be audited.
To illustrate, suppose that Big Bird had the opportunity to invest in a project managed by Elmo following the same rules. Suppose also that Big Bird invested 30 points in Elmo’s project. Elmo would receive 90 (30 * 3) points of profit, and would then decide how many points – if any – to return to Big Bird. Big Bird’s payoff would include the 70 points (100 – 30) not invested in Elmo’s project, as well as any points of profit (between 0 and 90) that Elmo returned to Big Bird.
Please answer the following questions to ensure that you understand the instructions presented to you. If you miss one or more questions, you will have the opportunity to correct those errors.
1. You may invest 0 (zero) points in Employee A’s project and/or Employee B’s project.
2. The number of points you invest in an employee's project will be audited.
3. The more points you invest in an employee's project, the more profit will be generated.
4. If you invest points in an employee's project, they must return some
of the resulting profit to you.
5. You will have multiple opportunities to invest in each employee's project.
