A. 0.06 (73,620) = 4417.20 pay on straight commission of 6%

b. 3000 + 0.02 (73,620) = 3000 + 1472.40 = 4472.40 (salary + 2% com)

c. 0.04 (50,000) + 0.09 (73620 - 50,000) = 2000 + 2125.80 = 4125.80

d. 0.05 (35,000) + 0.07 (73620 - 35,000) = 1750 + 2703.40 = 4453.40

most earnings would be : B. monthly salary + 2% commission
