Answer:

$995,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the transaction price is shown below;

July 31, 2018 ($950,000+$50,000) × 0.65 =  $650,000

August 7, 2018  ($950,000+$40,000) × 0.25 = $247,500

August 14, 2018 ($950,000 + $30,000) × .05 = $49,000

August 21, 2018 ($950,000 + $20,000) × .05 = $48,500

Total $995,000

In this way it should be calculated
