Answer 2

Answer:

The total commission of salesperson=$1478.06

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

The net sales of salesperson=$16244

The first net sale=$12000

The commission paid on sliding scale of first $12000 net sale=$8\frac{1}{4}%=\frac{33}{4}%$

The commission paid on sliding scale of first $12000 net sale=$\frac{33}{4\times 100}\times 12000$=$ 990

The additional net sale=$162444-$12000=$4244

The commission on additional net sale=11.5% of additional net sales

The commission on additional net sale=$\frac{11.5}{100}\times 4244$=$488.06

The total salesperson's commission=commission on fist sales + commission on additional net sales

Therefore, the total salesperson's commission=$990+$488.06=$1478.06

Hence, the total commission of salesperson=$1478.06
