Final answer:
b. Some top-performing salespeople earn more than their managers through a combination of base salary, commissions, and bonuses.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of this question is Business.
The compensation for top-performing salespeople is made up of base salary, commissions, and bonuses (option B).
For example, a salesperson may have a base salary of $50,000 per year, earn 2% commission on sales, and receive bonuses based on performance. So, if they make $1,000,000 in sales in a year, their commission would be $20,000. If their bonus is 10% of their commission, they would earn an additional $2,000 in bonuses. Therefore, their total compensation would be $72,000 ($50,000 base salary + $20,000 commission + $2,000 bonus).
