True or False?

Bruno has authorized a one-time payment of 30,000 dollars.
This statement is not true.
This statement is false. Bruno has requested that the writer's fee (compensation for the author of a document or book) be paid in two installments: half (50%) upon commission and half upon completion, meaning that the author will be paid a portion of money after accepting the job, and the rest after finishing it. Also, Bruno writes that the 30,000 dollars is the maximum amount Susie is authorized to spend, so this won't necessarily be the fee he is paid.
