Solution
Para determinar cuánto tendría que vender Kofi mensualmente para que el Plan A sea la mejor opción, debemos comparar las dos opciones de pago.
Plan A:
- Salario mensual fijo: 700 GHS
- Comisión: 20% de las ventas mensuales
Plan B:
- Salario mensual fijo: 800 GHS
- Comisión: 7% de las ventas mensuales
Primero, establecemos las ecuaciones para ambos planes.
Para el Plan A:
Para el Plan B:
Queremos encontrar el punto en el que el ingreso total del Plan A sea mayor que el ingreso total del Plan B:
Restamos 700 de ambos lados de la ecuación:
Restamos de ambos lados:
Dividimos ambos lados por 0.13:
Por lo tanto, Kofi tendría que vender más de 769.23 GHS mensualmente para que el Plan A sea la mejor opción.
