Part-1
Transaction price is total commission reeived on policy sold i.e. new business commission and commission on renewal business.
Therefore, Transaction price is computed as under:
New business commission = 100 policies @ 103 = 10300
Renewal business commission =100 policies @ (4.50 years @9 per year): 4050
Total Transaction price = 10300+4050 = 14350.
