    0.41

    Explanation:

    To calculate Eric's debt to income ratio we must divide his total debt payments by his gross income = total annual repayments / (Eric's salary + bonuses) = $33,620 / $82,000 = 0.41

    The new qualified mortgage rule establishes that a good debt to income ratio must be 0.43 or less. For other types of credits, banks usually consider a 0.4-0.5 ratio as good or acceptable.
