Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Kris's gross pay for the pay period, we need to calculate his commission on the billed sale of $25,000 and add it to his base salary. We also need to calculate his commission on the unbilled sale of $25,000 and include it in the next pay period.

Commission on billed sale = 4% of $25,000 = $1,000

Base salary = $80,000 per year / 26 pay periods per year = $3,076.92 per pay period

Gross pay for this pay period = Base salary + Commission on billed sale = $3,076.92 + $1,000 = $4,076.92

Therefore, Kris should expect his gross pay this period to be $4,076.92, which is option C.
