Answer:

$11,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate gross income for the payments received as a result of the accident, we will consider the amount provided by Bill's employer as a result of being out of work and add it with money provided for rehabilitation process.

In this case, the sick during out of work is $3,800 and amount for rehabilitation period help is $7,200. Hence, the gross income is $11,000.

Note: The medical reimbursement are not taxable and are therefore not calculated as an individuals gross income.
