### Problem 3-7A (Algo)

**Terry McNutt**, a single employee with two dependents under the age of 17, is paid $11.00 per hour and receives a commission on net sales. He does not receive a commission until his net sales exceed $150,000. Once the minimum net sales are reached, he receives a 2 percent commission on his sales at Skidoo Sports. During the week of January 24, he sold $94,000 of ski equipment; however, he had $1,200 of returns from the prior week's sales. Company policy requires that commissions on sales returns are deducted from the employee's pay, regardless of current commission earnings.

**Required:**
Compute Terry's gross pay for the 40-hour weekly pay period. (Negative amount(s) should be indicated by a minus sign.)

#### Table: Employee Payroll Calculation for Period Ended 1/24/20XX

| Company     | Skidoo Sports |
|-------------|---------------|
| **Name**    | Filing Status | Dependents | Hourly Rate | Number of Regular Hours | Regular Earnings | Commissions | Gross Earnings |
|-------------|---------------|------------|-------------|-------------------------|------------------|-------------|----------------|
| Terry McNutt| Single        | 2          | $11.00      | 40                      | \_\_\_\_         | \_\_\_\_    | \_\_\_\_       |

In this problem, you will calculate Terry's gross pay for a given week. Understand the components of his compensation including his hourly wage and any applicable commissions.

#### Steps to Calculate Gross Pay:

1. **Calculate Regular Earnings:**
   Terry is paid $11.00 per hour.
   
   \[
   \text{Regular Hours} = 40
   \]
   \[
   \text{Regular Earnings} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Number of Regular Hours}
   \]
   \[
   \text{Regular Earnings} = \$11.00 \times 40 = \$440.00
   \]

2. **Calculate Commissions:**
   - Determine if Terry's net sales exceed the $150,000 threshold.
   - Net sales for the week = $94,000
   - Returns = $1,200
   
   Since the net sales ($94,000 - $1,200) are less than $150,000,
