Answer:

a. $0

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, first, we have to compute the deduction which is allowed and the total amount after receiving the reimbursement amount

So, the deduction would be equal to

= Adjusted gross income × Prescribed percentage

= $26,000 × 10%

= $2,600

And, the total amount = Drugs + Health insurance premiums + Doctor fees + Eyeglasses - reimbursement amount

= $300 + $750 + $2,250 + $75 - $900

= $2,475

Since the expenses are less than the 10% of adjusted gross income, so no amount would be deducted into account
