Expert Solution
Step 1: Define a profit-sharing system:

A profit-sharing system is a  compensation and incentive arrangement in which an organization imparts a part of its benefits to its workers. Under this framework, representatives get a portion of the organization's benefits in light of predetermined criteria, like individual execution, group execution, or far-reaching execution measurements. Profit sharing is commonly intended to adjust the interests of representatives to the monetary outcome of the association and can act as a persuasive instrument to urge workers to pursue further developing organizational productivity.
