The owners of a small manufacturing company have hired a manager
to run the company with the expectation that the new manager will
buy the company after 3 years. Compensation of the new vice
president is a flat salary of $100,000 plus 50% of the first
$200,000 profit, then 10% of profit over $200,000. When the new
manager purchases the company, he will be required to pay 5 times
the average annual profitability of the 3 year period. 1. Plot the
annual compensation of the VP as a function of annual profit.
(Place profit on the horizontal axis and compensation on the
vertical axis.) 2. Assume the company will be worth $10 million in
3 years. Plot the profit of buying the company as a function of
annual profit. (Profit from purchase= Value – Price Paid) 3. Does
this contract align the incentives of the new VP with the
profitability goals of the current owners? 4. Redesign the contract
to better align the incentives of the new VP with the profitability
goals of the owners.
