The manager will offer a wage between 60 and 100 Dimra. Each worker will receive one half of the wage offer. The worker will choose a work level between 1 and 10. Each work level has a cost. The costs associated with different work levels are given in the table below. The higher the work level, the higher the cost.
Work Level | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cost | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 |
The worker’s income is determined as:
Income of the worker = Wage - Cost of the work level chosen
The work levels chosen by the two workers in the group produce an output for the manager. That is,
Output = work level of the first worker + work level of the second worker
The manager’s income is determined as:
Income of the manager = 100 + 4*Output– Total wage for the two workers
Overall, other things being equal, a higher work level will lead to a higher cost (thus lower income) for the worker, and a higher output (thus higher income) for the manager.
