Wk 3: Control Structures [due Mon]
You work for a software company has just created a new incentive for salespeople to earn a commission on each sale. The current program only allows for a fixed salary. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has asked you to create a new program that allows the functionality for a fixed salary and commission.
Write a Java® application, using NetBeans IDE, that calculates the total annual compensation of a salesperson.
Consider the following:

A salesperson will earn a fixed salary of $30,000.
A salesperson will also receive a commission as a sales incentive. Commission is a percentage of the salesperson’s annual sales. The current commission is 7% of total sales.
The total annual compensation is the fixed salary plus the commission earned.

The Java® application should meet the following technical requirements:

The application should have at least one class, in addition to the application’s controlling class. (A controlling class is where the main function resides).
A file needs to be created to contain the output.
There should be proper documentation in the source code.
The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it should display the total annual compensation.

Compile your Java® application files into a ZIP folder.
Review the Lynda.com® videos from this week if you have additional questions on creating a program in Java®.
Submit the ZIP file.
