    He can take on $200 more debt per month before crossing the 40% ratio debt payment to gross income. Calculate by finding 40 percent of gross income (42,000 x 0.4 = 16,800/year) and current debt payment (1,200 * 12 = 14,400). Find the difference (16,800-14,400 = 2,400). Divide by 12 to get monthly possible increase (2,400 / 12 = 200).
