Question
**Ron Company Commission Schedule:**

Ron Company uses the following commission schedule:

- **2%** on sales **up to $80,000**
- **3.5%** on sales in **excess of $80,000 up to $100,000**
- **4%** on sales **more than $100,000**

**Task: Calculate the gross earning.**

Here is an example scenario:

| Employee  | Total Sales | Gross Earning |
|-----------|-------------|---------------|
| Bill Moore | $141,000    |               |

To calculate the gross earning for Bill Moore:

1. **Sales up to $80,000:** 
   - Commission = 2% of $80,000 = $1,600

2. **Sales from $80,000 to $100,000 (i.e., $20,000):**
   - Commission = 3.5% of $20,000 = $700

3. **Sales in excess of $100,000 (i.e., $41,000):**
   - Commission = 4% of $41,000 = $1,640

4. **Total Gross Earning:**
   - $1,600 + $700 + $1,640 = $3,940

So, Bill Moore's gross earning would be **$3,940**.
