    1. 26.79%

    2. No

    Explanation:

    a. The computation of debt payment to income ratio is shown below:

    The income would be equal to

    = Monthly gross income - federal, state, and local income tax - social security taxes - IRA

    = $3,500 - $820 - $370 - $220

    = $2,090

    And, the debt payments equal to

    = Visa card + master card + automobile loan

    = $125 + $120 + $315

    = $560

    So, the debt payment to income ratio would equal to

    = $560 : $2,090

    = 26.79%

    b. we conclude that debt percentage is more than the monthly payments.
