    There is no simple answer as to what should be the compensation level of this CEO.

    Explanation:

    Since the 1990s, CEO compensation in the U. S. has outpaced corporate profits, economic growth and the average compensation of all workers. Between 1980 and 2004, Mutual Fund founder John Bogle estimates total CEO compensation grew 8.5% year, compared to corporate profit growth of 2.9%/year and per capita income growth of 3.1%. By 2006 CEOs made 400 times more than average workers-a gap 20 times bigger than it was in 1965. As a general rule, the larger the corporation the larger the CEO compensation package.

    In this case, there is not enough information to indicate what the compensation for the CEO should be.
