![### 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.)

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,](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F336519c0-4efa-418c-be83-f84a913a2a79%2F2c036786-b5d5-4832-a5f0-c1ef2d3a2c79%2Fe558mlo_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
