a. that the employee's incentives are orthogonal to the goals of the organization.
b. that the employee's incentives need to be removed in order to better help the organization.

8. Suppose a car dealership hires dealers to sell their cars. The dealers can negotiate the sales prices of cars within
certain ranges above the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), between 2% and 10% higher. In
addition, the dealers are given 5% of the total value of the car sold. The owners of the dealership, however, soon
discover that almost all dealers are selling cars for only a 2% markup over MSRP. Use the problem-solving
algorithm to select a likely explanation below.
a. Dealers do not have enough information about which cars are likely to sell for higher markups over MSRP.
b. Dealers are incapable of negotiating for higher markups due to lack of persuasive ability.
c. Dealers are not to blame. Dealership management should never give them the power to negotiate sales
price.
d. Dealers get paid based off the price of the car sold and benefit more from selling more cars at a 2%
markup versus fewer cars at a 10% markup.
