A salesperson will continue to earn a fixed salary of $50,000. The current sales target for every salesperson is $80,000.

• The sales incentive will only start when 80% of the sales target is met. The current commission is 12% of total sales.
• If a salesperson exceeds the sales target, the commission will increase based on an acceleration factor. The acceleration factor is 1.3.
• The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it should display the total annual compensation.
• The application should also display a table of potential total annual compensation that the salesperson could have earned, in $5000 increments above the salesperson's annual sales, until it reaches 50% above the salesperson's annual sales.

Sample Table: Assuming a salesperson's annual sales of $100,000, the table would look like this:

• The application will now compare the total annual compensation of at least two salespersons.
• It will calculate the additional amount of sales that each salesperson must achieve to match or exceed the higher of the two earners.
• The application should ask for the name of each salesperson being compared.

The Java^TM application should also meet these technical requirements:

·         The application should have at least one class, in addition to the application's controlling class

Here is what I have so far - but am lost on how to compare at least two salespeople.
