Trudy’s monthly expenses are outlined in the chart below. Trudy’s job pays her $36,000 annually. Determine Trudy’s DTI (debt-to-income) ratio. Trudy's Debt and Income Income: $36,000 (annually) Rent: $695 (monthly) Car Payment $265 (monthly) Student Loan $200 (monthly) Credit Cards $160 (monthly) a. 28% b. 35% c. 37% d. 44% Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

d. 44%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what DTI ratio is

First step is to calculate the Debt

Using this formula

Debt = (Rent expense + Carr payment + Loan + Credit card payment) × Number of months in a year

Let plug in the formula

Debt =[($695 + $265 + $200 $160) × 12 months]

Debt= $1,320 × 12 months

Debt = $15,840

Now let calculate DTI ratio using this formula

Using this formula

Debt to income ratio = (Debt) ÷ (Income) × 100

Let plug in the formula

DTI ratio=[ ($15,840 ÷ $36,000) × 100]

DTI ratio=0.44*100

DTI ratio= 44%

Therefore DTI ratio is 44%

I found the missing data:

Monthly expenses:  

rent is $695

car payment is $265

student loan's $200

credit cards $160

695 + 265 + 200 + 160 = 1,320

1,320 * 12 months = 15,840

Debt-to-Income ratio = 15,840 / 36,000

Debt-to-Income ratio = 0.44

Trudy's DTI ratio is d. 44%
