Question

I got the question in the photo wrong. I had different sources work on this problem and they came up with two answers: $0 and $200,000. I went with $200,000 b/c I had the exact same problem before, except the company said the likelihood of the manager achieving the goal was “probable”, and the answer was $200,000. So, the ONLY difference between the two problems was the company’s opinion on whether or not the manager would succeed. Is the correct answer, in fact, zero? If so, why?
