Did the agent intend to benefit the principal?

11. Even if the agent's conduct is only motivated in part by a desire to serve the principal, it is sufficient to consider that conduct within the scope of the agency.

Review Entente Moneral Company v. Parker, a case that discusses the sufficiency of an agent's motivation to serve his principal. Read the analysis, starting at line 8. Note the steps the court takes to determine whether the principal is liable for the agent's conduct.
