Expert Solution

Gross monthly Income = $50000 / 12 = $4167

31% of the monthly income = $1292

Monthly payment of each cases is lower than 31%

Total Debt burden = Debt burden of Car, student and boat

= $350 + $180 +$400

= $930

Total Debt burden is 22.31% i.e. (930/4167 ˣ 100) it is also satisfied

DTI Ratio = Housing expenses / Gross monthly income = 22.31%

It means Rhodes family is committed 22.31% income to pay debts

22.31% of income = ($50000 ˣ 22.31%)/12

= $930

The maximum loan amount the family can afford is $16081.59
