Answer 1

$553,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the total sales commissions

First step is to compute the Sales commission per unit using this formula

Sales commission per unit = Total sales commissions ÷ Unit sales

Let plug in the formula

Sales commission per unit= $576,700 ÷ 36,500

Sales commission per unit= $15.80

Last step is to find the Total sales commission using this formula

Total sales commission = Sales commission per unit × Unit sales

Let plug in the formula

Total sales commission= $15.80 × 35,000

Total sales commission=$553,000

Therefore the Total sales commission will be $553,000
