Problem 1: Other individuals associated with the film signed contracts based on a percentage of 'net profits' rather than gross box office receipts, net profits being the film's profit after recouping of all the studio's expenses. For example, Winston Groom, who wrote the novel on which the movie was based, received $350,000 plus 3% of the film's net profits. Eric Roth, the screenwriter, signed a similar contract with a fixed fee plus 5% of the film's net profits. Based on your calculations above, how much did these two individuals receive from their share of the film's net profits?
