I feel like option A might be correct since it mentions a cap on individual payouts, but I’m not entirely confident about the specifics.

I practiced a question similar to this where the payout was contingent on multiple goals, but I can't remember if it was about capping or thresholds.

I think option D sounds familiar because it ties individual performance to the EBITDA payout, but I can't recall if that's a common structure.

I remember discussing how variable pay gates can create dependencies between different goals, but I'm not sure which options really fit that concept.

Option A is a bit too rigid, don't you think? Bonus plans should have the flexibility to weigh goals differently based on the company's priorities.

D is the way to go! The goal weights have to add up to 100% for each bonus plan. Anything else would just be confusing.

I'm torn between B and C. I feel like the goal weights should be established first, but then they can be uniquely weighted for each bonus plan.
