Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nighthood earns a commission for each kitchen appliance she sells, as she earns a percentage of the item's purchase price. A salary is a fixed amount of money paid to an employee on a regular basis, regardless of their performance or the number of items they sell. A wage is similar to a salary, but it is typically paid by the hour or on a piecework basis. A bonus is an additional payment given to an employee as a reward for their performance or achievement of certain goals, but this scenario only mentions Nighthood's regular earnings from sales.
