Zorluk: OrtaWages, Salaries, and Commissions

A marketing consultant earns a weekly base salary of $850\$850. She also earns a 4%4\% commission on any client contracts she secures beyond a weekly quota of $5,000\$5,000. If she secures $18,500\$18,500 in contracts this week, what are her total gross earnings?

  1. A
    \$540
  2. B
    \$904
  3. \$1,390Cevap
  4. D
    \$1,590

Cevap

\$1,390
The correct answer is found by subtracting the $5,000\$5,000 quota from the total $18,500\$18,500 in contracts to find the commissionable amount ($13,500\$13,500). Then, calculating 4%4\% of that amount yields $540\$540 in commission. Finally, adding the $540\$540 commission to the $850\$850 base salary results in total gross earnings of $1,390\$1,390.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the amount of sales eligible for commission.
$18,500−$5,000=$13,500\$18,500 - \$5,000 = \$13,500
The consultant only earns commission on contracts beyond the $5,000\$5,000 quota.
2
Calculate the commission earned on the eligible sales.
0.04×$13,500=$5400.04 \times \$13,500 = \$540
The commission rate is 4%4\%, which is 0.040.04 as a decimal.
3
Add the commission to the base salary to find total gross earnings.
$850+$540=$1,390\$850 + \$540 = \$1,390
Total earnings are the sum of the fixed base salary and the variable commission.
