help with awk script

Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
The script should compute the sale amounts per associate for the year 2010 and print them in a sorted list ranked according to the sales amount.
Here is an example of the script invocation using the data provided in the example file:

% awk -f report inputfile
Lazy Acres, Inc.
2010 Sales Associates Ranking
Name Position Sales Amount
==========================================
Buck, Fast Stock Boy 2630.78
Rush, George Salesman 1049.79
Worker, Susan Manager 360.00
Doe, John Clerk 134.01
Lindon, Rosemary Producer 31.00
Miller, Dennis Comedian 9.90

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:

3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

Code:

BEGIN {
    FS=":"
    printf("%s\n", "Lazy Acres, Inc.")
    printf("%s\n", "2009 Sales Associates Ranking")
    printf("%-25s %-15s %15s\n", "Name", "Position", "Sales amount")
    print("=========================================================")
}

# Associates
NF == 3 {

 associates[$1] = $2 ":" $3
}

# Products
NF == 4 {
    products[$1] = $4;
}

# Sales
NF == 5 && $4 ~ /2010/ {
     sales[associates[NF]] = sales[associates[NF]] + ($3 * products[$2])
}

END{
#for loop to print
for (i in sales) {
   printf("%15s %41.2f\n", associates[i], sales[i]) | "sort -nr"
 }
}

it prints out the sum of all the sales instead of each individual sale, if I refer to "NF" as "$NF" then it prints out each sale individually but I don't think I'm supposed to do that. Also nothing prints for ''associates[i]" in printf. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I attached the input file also if that helps.

mkcover

MKCOVER(8)						      System Manager's Manual							MKCOVER(8)

NAME

       mkcover - HylaFAX continuation cover page generation command

SYNOPSIS

       /var/spool/hylafax/bin/mkcover qfile template result

DESCRIPTION

       bin/mkcover  is the command invoked by the facsimile server when a continuation cover page is required for an outbound job that is about to
       be retried.  It generates a single POSTSCRIPT(R) page that is imaged according to the remote capabilities  and  transmitted  as	the  cover
       page.  The arguments are:

       qfile	 the job description file for the outbound job.

       template  the cover page template file, as used by the faxcover(1) program.

       result	 the filename where the resultant POSTSCRIPT document should be written.

       The default mkcover command is a shell script that uses awk(1) to parse the job description file and generate the cover page document.  The
       template file may be optionally compressed with compress(1), pack(1), or gzip(1); the filename suffix is used to decide whether or not  the
       template file contains compressed data.
