    option (D) $2,400

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Payments to miscellaneous expense:

    Travel expense = $300

    Total value of Christmas gifts = 20 * $75 = $1,500

    Contribution to local political candidate = $600

    Now,

    The maximum deduction that Ashley can claim for these payments

    = Travel expense + Total value of Christmas gifts + Contribution to local political candidate

    = $300 + $1,500 + $600

    = $2,400

    Hence,

    The correct answer is option (D) $2,400
