1. Straight commission – This is given when a person is paid a percentage (%) of sales only.
Examples:
a) A stock broker receives a commission of 7% for selling annuities to her clients. If she sells ₱250,000, how much commission will she earn?
Solution: Since the stock broker receives 7% commission based on sales, she’ll earn:
250,000 × 0.07 = 17,500
Thus, the stock broker will earn ₱17,500 commission.
b) . Harry receives 30% commission on the appliances he sells. If he sells a TV for ₱17,000, a refrigerator for ₱20,000 and a heater for
₱22,000, how much does Harry make in commission?
Solution: Since Harry receives 30% commission based on sales, he’ll earn:
(17,000 + 20,000 + 22,000) × .3 = 17,700
Thus, the Harry will earn ₱17,700 commission.
2. Salary plus commission – This is exactly as it sounds, a person gets paid a salary and a % of sales.
Examples:
a) Christian works as a sales agent for a company and earns a basic monthly salary of ₱8,000 plus 5% commission on all his sales. If he made
total sales of ₱50,000 for the month, how much is his gross pay for the month?
Solution:
₱50,000 × .05 = ₱2,500
₱2,500(commission) + ₱8,000(salary) = ₱10,500
Thus, the Christian will earn ₱10,500 salary and commission.
b) Harry decides to work for another company that will pay him ₱17,500 per week and 6% of any sales above ₱150,000. If he sold goods worth
₱284,400, what is his gross pay?
Solution: ₱284,400 – ₱150,000 = ₱134,400
₱134,400 × 0.06 = ₱8,064 (Commission)
₱8,064(commission) + ₱17,500(salary) = ₱25,564
3. Graduated Commission – This is when percentage (%) changes based on how much someone sells
Examples:
a) Steve works for a company that pays him 1% on the first ₱250,000 sold, 2% on the next ₱750,000 and 3% on all sales over ₱1,000,000.
What is his gross pay if he sells ₱1,250,000?
Solution: ₱250,000 × 0.01 = ₱2,500
₱1,250,000 – ₱250,000 = ₱1,000,000
₱750,000 × 0.02 = ₱15,000
₱1,000,000 – ₱750,000 = ₱250,000
₱250,000 × 0.03 = ₱7,500
Total: ₱2,500 + ₱15,000 + ₱7,500 = ₱25,000
Thus, Steve will receive a total of ₱25,000 as his commission.
a) Ana, the assistant manager of a clothing store earns a salary of ₱17,500 per month. She also receives a 5% commission on the first
₱450,000 she sells, and 6% commission on sales above ₱450,000. If Ana sold ₱850,000 worth of clothes last month, what was her total pay?
Solution: ₱450,000 × 0.05 = ₱22,500 (first commission)
₱850,000 – ₱450,000 = ₱400,000
₱400,000 × 0.06 = ₱24,000 (second commission)
₱22,500 + ₱24,000 = ₱46,500 (first + second commission)
₱46,500 + ₱17,500 = ₱64,000 (total commission plus salary)
Ana earned a total of ₱64,000 last month.
b. Commission on Installment Basis – commission is computed based on partial payments upon the agreed installment method.
Example 2:
At Luna’s store, some items are paid on installment basis through credit cards. Kevin was able to sell 10 watches costing ₱18,000 each. Each
transaction is payable in 6 months divided into 6 equal installments without interest. Kevin gets 2% commission on the first month for each of
the 10 watches. Commission decreases by 0.3% every month thereafter and computed on the outstanding balance for the month. How much
commission does Mike receive on the first month? On the second month? Third? Fourth? Fifth? Sixth month? At the end of installment period,
how much will be his total commission?
Solution:
First month commission: ₱18,000/watch × 10 watches × 0.02 = ₱3,600
Second month commission: ₱15,000/watch × 10 watches × (0.02 – 0.003) = ₱2,550
Third month commission: ₱12,000/watch × 10 watches × (0.017 – 0.003) = ₱1,680
Fourth month commission: ₱9,000/watch × 10 watches × (0.014 – 0.003) = ₱990
Fifth month commission: ₱6,000/watch × 10 watches × (0.011 – 0.003) = ₱480
Sixth month commission: ₱3,000/watch × 10 watches × (0.008 – 0.003) = ₱150
His total commission for six months is: ₱2,550 + ₱1,680 + ₱990 + ₱480 + ₱150 = ₱9,450.
Note: The base price of the watch is subtracted by 3,000 for each month since it was stated in the problem that the price is will be paid
in 6 equal payments. Thus 18,000/6 = 3,000.
THE DOWN PAYMENT
Down payment is an initial payment made when something is bought on credit. The down payment is a first payment that one makes when
one buys something with an agreement to pay the rest later.
How do we obtain the down payment?
Example#1:
When one purchases a car or any big item not through cash but installment terms, normally, a certain down payment is required of the buyer.
Car dealers normally require a minimum down payment, which is usually 20% of the total cost of the vehicle purchased. The interest on the
remaining balance is then computed depending on the number of years a buyer would want to amortize the remaining balance. If a car costs
₱1,000,000 and a minimum 20% down payment is required by the company, then the buyer will have an initial cash out of ₱200,000; that is,
0.20 × 1,000,000 = 200,000. The remaining ₱800,000 will be amortized monthly and the amount of monthly amortization depends on the
number of years the buyer will want to pay the loan. Normally, buyers prefer a 3-year or 5-year payment period. The lesser the number of
years, the lesser the total amount paid as interest to the loan. But with this arrangement, the monthly amortization will be considerably higher
than when one chooses to pay the balance for longer number of years.
GROSS BALANCE
This refers to the total amount of money a bank has on deposit before adjusting for uncleared checks or deposits, as well as reserve
requirements. That is, the book balance is a measure of what the bank has on hand before adding or subtracting regulatory obligations and
items that will soon appear on its books. This is the term used by banks to describe the amount of money available before any adjustments is
made for deposits in transit, checks that have not been cleared, and reserve requirements and interest received from “float funds”.
Example:
A simple case of gross balance refers to what is readily available for you to use based on your bank deposits. For example, a check amounting
to Php5,000 that has been deposited today may not be withdrawn the next day because it has not cleared yet. If your bank passbook currently
contains ₱30,000, you may not be able to withdraw the whole amount yet because your gross balance is only ₱25,000 since your check has
not been cleared yet.
