The funds will be used to finance operations and the opening of a Las Vegas store. The current owners, Maxine Williams and Purvis Scott, have come to ma consulting firm for advice on how to convert the loss into profit. This is a major condition of the funding,proof must be provided that the business can function profitably. Maxine is the creative force behind the business. Her philosophy is sales are paramount; profits will come as volume increases. Purvis has come to the conclusion profits matter.

    Please see the big red announcement at the top of this page about submitting homework problems:

    You need to at least show some attempt at trying to do the problem yourself, or ask specifically where you are stuck at.

    Design an incentive scheme for employees to share profits and let each of them come for suggestions. Best schemes to be rewarded every month if they work.
