    <p>
        You have been assigned to the role of manager. You will be supervising one or more projects, each involving three
        different workers, who we will refer to as Worker 1, Worker 2, and Worker 3.
    </p>
    <hr>
    <p>
        Each Worker 1, Worker 2, and Worker 3 will receive compensation for participating in a project.
    </p>
    <p>
        You will receive a base pay of $2.00; however, your total pay will depend on a performance evaluation.
    </p>
    <p>
        If your performance evaluation is positive, you will receive a bonus equal to 50% of your pay.
    </p>
    <p>
        Your chance of a positive performance evaluation (which earns the 50% bonus) increases as workers contribute
        effort (i.e., work harder) to the project(s) you supervise. Workers can contribute effort to the project
        to increase the likelihood of a positive performance evaluation for you as follows.
    </p>
    <hr>
    <p>
        Each worker’s total pay for a project will start at $2.00. They can contribute  (in increments of $0.05) up to $1.00 of their
        compensation to the project to increase the probability that you receive a positive performance evaluation
        and, as a result, earn the 50% bonus. Greater contribution amounts have a greater positive effect on your
        evaluation.
    </p>
    <p>
        If they choose to contribute $0.00, their pay will be $2.00 and they will not increase the probability
        that you receive a positive performance evaluation. If they choose to contribute the maximum of $1.00,
        their pay will be $1.00. In other words, their pay will be $2.00 less whatever amount they choose to contribute.
