A lender requires a 1.3 debt coverage ratio as a minimum. If the net operating income of a property is $88,400 what monthly amount of debt service would be acceptable?
a. | $114,900 or higher | |
b. | $5,667 or lower | |
c. | $101,500 or lower | |
d. | $114,900 or higher |
Debt Coverage Ratio = Net Operating Income/Total Annual Debt Service
1.3 = $88,400/Total Annual Debt Service
Total Annual Debt Service = $68,000
So, Monthly Debt Service = Total Annual Debt Service/12
Monthly Debt Service = $68,000/12
Monthly Debt Service = $5,666.67
So, monthly amount of debt service would be acceptable is $5666.67 or lower
