To find the mean commission earned, we need to add up all the commissions and divide by the number of dealers. Using a calculator or spreadsheet, we find:
$$\frac{\$ 2894.21 + \$ 1777.15 + \$ 2144.77 + \$ 4096.37 + \$ 4046.29 + \$ 1786.37 + \$ 3296.69 + \$ 4086.27 + \$ 2784.22 + \$ 4027.79}{10}= \$ 3094.01$$
Rounding to the nearest cent, we get $\boxed{	ext{(B)}\ 3094.01}$.
