    understanding IF function

    I'm working through an Excel workbook and it is explaining IF Logical Functions. I am just looking to see if I'm understanding the formula correctly.

    The salesperson gets a bonus of 10% if the quota of $100,00 is met or exceeded and zero if it's less than $100,000 and they provide the formula of

    =IF(quota=>100000,quota*0.1,0)

    and I interpret the formula as meaning

    =IF([A]quota=>100000,[B]quota*0.1,[C]0)

    [A] the quota is equal to or greater than 100000

    [B] if [A] is true then the quota*0.1

    [C] if [A] is false then it = 0


    hope my thought process makes sense written out...

    [A] the quota is equal to or greater than 100000 - Correct

    [B] if [A] is true then the quota*0.1 - Correct

    [C] if [A] is false then it = 0 - Correct he gets no bonus
