Answer:

a. $1,800

b. Commission would double as well.

Explanation:

Commission paid on $36,000 worth of furnaces with a rate of 5% is:

= Amount of sales * commission rate

= 36,000 * 5%

= $1,800

If the sales were to double, the commission would be based on double the amount so it would double as well.

= 36,000 * 2

= $72,000

Commission = 72,000 * 5%

= $3,600

Commission therefore doubled.
