Answer:

Gross pay - $455

No

Explanation:

The computation of the gross pay is shown below:

= New subscription sold × commission percentage

= $6,500 × 7%

= $455

Since Renata McCarter is an outside sales representative so she is exempt from the minimum wage laws. Hence, not taxable.

For computing the gross pay, we simply multiply the new subscription sold with the commission percentage so that the accurate amount can come.
