Three colleagues are assigned a group project where the total output is divided equally among them. Each colleague can independently choose to either 'Work' or 'Not Work'.

• If a colleague chooses to 'Work', they incur a personal cost of £40 and contribute £90 to the total project output.
• If a colleague chooses to 'Not Work', they incur no cost and contribute nothing to the total output.

From a purely individual financial perspective, what is the best choice for one of the colleagues, and wh

Resolving the Group Project Dilemma

Consider a workplace group project with three colleagues where the total output is divided equally among them. Each colleague can independently choose to 'Work' (personal cost of £40, adds £90 to total output) or 'Not Work' (no cost, no output).

Three colleagues are assigned a group project where the total output is divided equally among them. Each colleague can independently choose to 'Work' (incurring a personal cost of £40 and adding £90 to the total output) or 'Not Work' (no cost, no output). Match each individual's situation to their correct personal payoff.

Consider a workplace project where each person's effort adds £90 to the total output at a personal cost of £40. The total output is shared equally among all members. For an individual's personal payoff from their own work to exceed their personal cost, the group must contain no more than ____ members.
