we could repeat this exercise using a computer spreadsheet.
A Retainer-Plus-Commission Investigation:
Can you do it?
Consider the following challenge: Find three different combinations of
• Retainer Amount
• Sales Made and
• Percentage Rate of Commission
which earn a salesperson $2850 in a week.
Your task is to build a spreadsheet which will assist you in this investigation.
Building the Retainer-plus-Commission Calculator:
Create a new spreadsheet and name it suitably… Press File (F1) then NEW (F1).
Now we will enter the labels as shown in Fig20.
NOTE: When entering text into a cell speech quotations (ALPHA EXP) need to be entered first!
Writing RTNR in Cell A1:
