Question

You have just started a sales job in a department store. Your pay consists of a base salary and a commission. The base salary is $10,000.00. The scheme shown below is used to determine the commission rate:

Sales Amount                              Commission Rate

$0.01 - $10,000                                    7.50 percent

$10,000.01 - $20,000                        11.25 percent

$20,000.01 and above                        14.50 percent

Note that this is a graduated rate. The rate for the first $10,000 is at 7.5%, the next $10,000 is at 11.25%, and the rest is at 14.5%. If the sales amount is $25,000, the commission is 10000 * 7.5% + 10000 * 11.25% + 5000 * 14.5% = 2600.

contains a main method that calls another method that computes the commission using the commission rates described above.

The header of the called method is as follows:

public static double computeCommission(double salesAmount)

To format your table in appropriate dollars and cents, use the following import statement and format method:

      import java.text.DecimalFormat;

      DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("$###,###,##0.00");

            System.out.println(df.format(364565.14));

            Output: $364,565.14

Sample Java output:

Enter table start, table end, and increment:

5000 30000 5000

$5,000.00               $375.00

   public static double computeCommission(double salesAmount) {

       double commision = 0;

       if(salesAmount > 20000) {

           commision = 10000*0.075 + 10000*0.1125 + (salesAmount - 20000)* 0.1450;

       }else if(salesAmount > 10000) {

           commision = 10000*0.075 + (salesAmount - 10000)* 0.1125;

       }else

           commision = salesAmount*0.075;

       return commision;

   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

       int start, end, inc;

       System.out.println("Enter table start, table end, and increment:");

       start = sc.nextInt();

       end = sc.nextInt();

       inc =sc.nextInt();

       sc.close();

       DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("$###,###,##0.00");

       System.out.println("Sales Amount Commission");

       while(start <= end) {

           System.out.println("$"+df.format(start)+" $"+computeCommission(start));

           start = start + inc;

       }

   }
