Question: The company has recently changed its total annual compensation policy to improve sales. A salesperson will continue to earn a fixed salary of 60000 dollars

  • The company has recently changed its total annual compensation policy to improve sales. A salesperson will continue to earn a fixed salary of 60000 dollars. The current sales target for every salesperson is  $120,000. The sales incentive will only start when 80% of the sales target is met. The current commission is6 percent of total sales. If a salesperson exceeds the sales target, the commission will increase based on an acceleration factor. The acceleration factor is  2. The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it should display the total annual compensation. The application should also display a table of potential total annual compensation that the salesperson could have earned, in $5000 increments above the salesperson's annual sales, until it reaches 50% above the salesperson's annual sales.

Sample Table: Assuming a total annual sales of $100,000, the table would look like this:

 

Total Sales

Total Compensation

100,000

<>

105,000

<>

110,000

<>

115,000

<>

120,000

<>

125,000

<>

130,000

<>

135,000

<>

140,000

<>

145,000

<>

150,000

<>

I have almost finished the programming, | need help with the math. I feel my programming and math is off. Not even sure If I did the accelerator factor correctly after the target number of 120000 has been met, I believe the percent should move to 12% instead of 6%.
