"I suggest that it be deducted from your salary in monthly installments of 300 dollars for the next four months."

1 subtract: To "subtract" an amount of money from someone's account or paycheck means to remove an amount of money from someone's account or paycheck, and shares a similar meaning with "deduct".
1 discount: To "discount" something means to reduce the price of something. Example: In order to sell more cars, the dealer discounted all the newest models by ten percent. To "discount" something does not share a similar meaning with to "deduct" something, and the verb "to discount" cannot be used to express that one will "take away" or "deduct" money from a paycheck.
1 reimburse : To "reimburse" someone means to pay someone back (after borrowing money for example). Example: We were reimbursed by the company the cost of the pens and paper we needed for our business project. Icarus wants Bob to "reimburse" the Delavigne Corp the money he owes, but he is not suggesting that the Delavigne Corp "reimburse" Bob.
2 in increments of: To make a payment in monthly "installments" means to make a partial payment of something each month, or to pay for something in parts or increments each month. Example: We paid for our television in twelve monthly installments. To pay for something in "installments" is to pay for something in "portions" or "increments".
2 totaling: Icarus does not suggest that Bob pay "a total of" 300 USD over the next four months. He states that Bob should pay "in monthly installments of 300 dollars" each month. This means he should pay 300 USD each month, not "a total of" 300 USD.
2 estimated to be: Icarus does not suggest that Bob's salary is "estimated to be" 300 USD each month. He states that Bob should pay "in monthly installments of 300 dollars" each month. This means he should pay exactly 300 USD each month.

This statement is false. After hearing what Polly has to say, Kevin has decided to "downgrade", or "change" his ticket to a lower price and class.
This statement is true. Polly tells Kevin, "If you still wish to travel in business class, the extra cost will be deducted from your next check". "To deduct" and to "take (money) away" are synonymous in this context: to deduct money from someone is to reduce their pay, or take part of their money.
This statement is true. Polly says: "all plane tickets purchased by the company must be in economy class". This means that the corporation will NOT pay for its employees to fly business class, although the employee may choose to pay the difference and upgrade with their own money.
