Question

Telemarketers receive $15 commission on all new customers they sign up for cell phone service through Movill Networks. Each telemarketer works 40 hours. The company ran a competition this week to see who could sign up the most new people and the winner would get a bonus of $75. Because these employees are paid solely on commission, the employer must ensure that they earn the federal minimum wage for 40 hours each week. Required: Compute the gross pay for each of the following outbound sales representatives.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The gross pay of Kenny is $750.
2. The gross pay of Charles is $525.
3. The gross pay of Laurie is $855.
4. The gross pay of Hylis is $480.

Explanation:

As the data of the employers is not given here, a similar question is found , for which the data is attached herewith.

Now the minimum wage per week for $8 an hour is given as

Minimum Wage=40*$8=$240.

The gross pay of Kenny with 50 new customers is given as

$Gross Pay_{Kenny}=n*\ 15\\Gross Pay_{Kenny}=50*\ 15\\Gross Pay_{Kenny}=\ 750$

So the gross pay of Kenny is $750.

The gross pay of Charles with 35 new customers is given as

$Gross Pay_{Charles}=n*\ 15\\Gross Pay_{Charles}=35*\ 15\\Gross Pay_{Charles}=\ 525$

So the gross pay of Charles is $525.

The gross pay of Laurie with 52 new customers is given as

$Gross Pay_{Laurie}=n*\ 15\\Gross Pay_{Laurie}=52*\ 15\\Gross Pay_{Laurie}=\ 780$

So the gross pay of Laurie is $780.

The gross pay of Hylis with 32 new customers is given as

$Gross Pay_{Hylis}=n*\ 15\\Gross Pay_{Hylis}=32*\ 15\\Gross Pay_{Hylis}=\ 480$

So the gross pay of Hylis is $480.

As Laurie has the highest number of new customers, so she will receive a bonus of $75.

So the gross pay of Laurie is $780+$75=$855.

So the gross pays are given as

1. The gross pay of Kenny is $750.
2. The gross pay of Charles is $525.
3. The gross pay of Laurie is $855.
4. The gross pay of Hylis is $480.
