A salesperson will continue to earn a fixed salary of $50,000. The current sales target for every salesperson is $80,000.

  • The sales incentive will only start when 80% of the sales target is met. The current commission is 12% of total sales.
  • If a salesperson exceeds the sales target, the commission will increase based on an acceleration factor. The acceleration factor is 1.3.
  • The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it should display the total annual compensation.
  • The application should also display a table of potential total annual compensation that the salesperson could have earned, in $5000 increments above the salesperson's annual sales, until it reaches 50% above the salesperson's annual sales.

Sample Table: Assuming a salesperson's annual sales of $100,000, the table would look like this:

Total Sales

Total Compensation

100,000

<>

105,000

<>

110,000

<>

115,000

<>

120,000

<>

125,000

<>

130,000

<>

135,000

<>

140,000

<>

145,000

<>

150,000

<>

  • The application will now compare the total annual compensation of at least two salespersons.
  • It will calculate the additional amount of sales that each salesperson must achieve to match or exceed the higher of the two earners.
  • The application should ask for the name of each salesperson being compared.

The JavaTM application should also meet these technical requirements:

·         The application should have at least one class, in addition to the application's controlling class

Here is what I have so far - but am lost on how to compare at least two salespeople.
