Henlo c: I could use some help with this task
An employee works in a team with 3 other colleagues on the realization of a customer order. The price the customer pays to the company for the successful completion of the order is 1.5 million euros. The management has promised the team a reward for the successful execution. This reward corresponds to 10% of the profit generated by the order. The reward is distributed equally among the team members.
The employee can influence the order's profit by making an effort to find cost-effective solutions for its realization. The relationship between his effort 𝑒 (𝑒 = 𝑠), the efforts of his colleagues 𝑘𝑖, and the costs of order implementation 𝐶𝑈 is given by: (see pic1)
The personal costs of effort 𝐶(𝑠) for the employee and his colleagues are given by: (see second pic)
a) What level of effort will the employee choose? Assume that he wants to maximize his own benefit.
b) How much will the reward for the employee be if his team members choose the same effort level as him?
I do have the results but I dont understand how to get there.
So for a I get this equation (see pic3) but how do I get this? (see pic 4)
