Transcribed Image Text:## Homework Assignment: Telemarketer Commission and Minimum Wage Calculation
### Scenario:
Telemarketers receive a $10 commission on all new customers that sign up for cell phone service through Movill Networks. Each telemarketer works 40 hours. The company ran a competition this week to see who could sign up the most new people and the winner would get a bonus of $26. Because these employees are paid solely on commission, the employer must ensure that they earn the federal minimum wage for 40 hours each week.
### Required:
Compute the gross pay for each of the following outbound sales representatives. Enter the difference when the commission pay is less than the gross pay at minimum wage.
### Data Table:
| Employee | Number of New Customers Signed | Total Commission | Difference Between Minimum Pay and Commission (if the minimum is not met) |
|----------------|--------------------------------|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| S. McCulloch | 30 | $440 | |
| F. Odell | 22 | $220 | |
| S. Heller | 33 | $330 | |
| V. Caro | 20 | $200 | |
### Instructions:
1. **Calculate Gross Pay:**
- Each telemarketer earns $10 for each new customer they sign up.
- Determine the gross pay for each telemarketer by multiplying the number of new customers by $10.
2. **Federal Minimum Wage Calculation:**
- The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.
- Calculate the minimum wage for 40 hours of work: \( 7.25 \times 40 \)
3. **Comparison:**
- Compare each telemarketer's total commission to the minimum wage for 40 hours.
- If the commission is less than the minimum wage, compute the difference and enter it in the table.
### Example Calculation:
- For S. McCulloch:
- Number of New Customers Signed: 30
- Total Commission: \( 30 \times 10 = 300 \)
- Minimum Wage for 40 hours: \( 7.25 \times 40 = 290 \)
- Difference (if applicable): \( 300 - 290 = 10 \)
Ensure you complete the table and calculations accurately to determine if any sales representatives require additional pay to meet the federal minimum wage requirements
