B) Mel will be able to hire some of the most productive salespeople who work for the other two dealerships.
C) Mel risks violation of federal law that regulates firms' compensation policies.
D) Mel will have difficulty finding salespeople. Research by labor economists has found that most employees prefer the security of a salary to the uncertainty of being paid based on how much revenue they generate for their employers.
