Maria Pajet, a regional sales representative for UniTec Systems, Inc., has been working about 80 hours per week calling on a total of 123 regular customers each month. Because of family and health considerations, she has decided to reduce her hours to a maximum of 160 per month. Unfortunately, this cutback will require Maria to turn away some of her regular customers or, at least, serve them less frequently than once a month. Maria has developed the following information to assist her in determining how to best allocate time:

Customer Classification

Number of customers 8 35 80
Average monthly sales-
per customer $1,500 $900 $350
Commission percentage 5% 8% 10%
Hours per customer per-
monthly visit 5.0 3.0 2.5

Determine the monthly commissions Maria will earn if she implements this plan in the first table, In the second table, complete the monthly call/visit plan that would maximize Maria's monthly sales commissions. Then determine Maria's monthly commissions if she implements this plan.
