Answer:
$99,110
Explanation:
The commission due to Dowd is a function of the surplus made in the region over the annual quota.
Given that the annual quota for the Southern region is $450,000 and the sales in the same region for the year is $698,000.
The surplus sales over the annual quota
= $698,000 - $450,000
= $258,000
Since Dowd receives a commission of 4½ percent for all sales over the given quota,
Dowd's commission = 4½ × $258,000
= $11,610
The amount of salary and commissions due to Dowd
= $87,500 + $11,610
=$99,110
