Again assuming that Century 21 agents receive base salaries of $12,000 and 50% of the commissions earned, while RE/MAX agents pay a yearly $18,000 and receive 100% of the commissions earned:

1. Suppose that, by working an extra 20 hours, the real estate agent can increase the offer price from a potential buyer by $100,000 (which would increase total commissions to the selling agent's firm by about $3,000).

Which agent has stronger incentives to extract a higher offer price, the Century 21 agent or the RE/MAX agent?
