    a. $36,000

    Explanation:

    Since the total payment is $7,000 which is reduced to $3,000 because of child

    The $4,000 reflects the payment of the child. This $4,000 is come from

    = $7,000 - $3,000

    = $4,000

    So, only $3,000 for 12 months would be allowed as a deduction from gross income

    So, the total amount for deduction would be

    = $3,000 * 12 months

    = $36,000
