On the sale of any property, a sales associate's compensation is based on the total commission paid to the broker. The sales associate receives 30% of the first $2,500, 40% of the next amount between $2,500 and $7,500, and 50% of any remaining amount exceeding $7,500. If a property sells for $234,500 and the broker's commission rate is 6.5%, what is the sales associate's total compensation?

$6,621.25 The answer is $6,621.25. Total commission to the firm: $234,500 × 6.5% = $15,242.50. The salesperson's commission is computed in three parts: (1) Use $2,500 of the $15,242.50 for a commission at 30% = $750. (2) Use another $5,000 of the $15,242.50 for commission at 40% = $2,000. So far, the salesperson has received commissions on $7,500: $2,500 + $5,000. The agent now gets 50 percent commission on the $7,742.50 that is left: $15,242.50 - $7,500 = $7,742.50. (3) The commission on $7,742.50 at 50% = $3,871.25. Total of three parts of the salesperson's commission: $750 + $2,000 + $3,871.25 = $6,621.25.
