Seizure of the zaibatsu families' assets, 1946. The zaibatsu had been viewed with some ambivalence by the Japanese military, which nationalized a significant portion of their production capability during World War II. Remaining assets were also highly damaged by the destruction of the war.
VARIABLE COMMISSION RATE BASED ON VOLUME. Stepped commission rates based on volume sold are also very popular in the furniture industry. For example, a store may pay 5% on sales up to $25,000, 5.5% on sales between $25,000 and 35,000, 6% on sales between $35,000 and $45,000, and 7% for sales over $40,000.
Sales representatives earn commissions based on the sales they make. Generally, commission rates are figured as a percentage of the net sale, excluding shipping and other costs. For example, if Jane sold a piano for $3,000 and made a 10 percent commission, she would earn $300 for that sale.
