You are the CEO of a firm. Your cash pay comes from a bonus plan. The performance measure used in your bonus plan is earnings before interest and taxes. You do not receive a bonus unless earnings before interest and taxes are $50,000. You receive a minimum cash bonus of $100,000 when earnings before interest and taxes are $50,000. Each additional dollar of earnings before interest and taxes above $50,000 gives you an additional $3 in cash bonus. You receive your maximum cash bonus of $190,000 once earnings before interest and taxes reach $80,000. Your cash bonus stays at $190,000 even if earnings before interest and taxes exceed $80,000.
