Why port and starboard instead of left and right?

1 answer:

6 0

Steorbord, lit. "side on which a vessel was steered," from steor- "rudder, steering paddle" + bord "ship's side." Cf. O.N. stjornborði, Low Ger. stürbord, Ger. Steuerbord. Early Germanic peoples' boats were propelled and steered by a paddle on the right side. Fr. tribord (O.Fr. estribord), It. stribordo are Gmc. loan-words.

port 

Meaning "left side of a ship" is attested from 1543, from notion of "the side facing the harbor" (when a ship is docked). It replaced larboard in common usage to avoid confusion with starboard (q.v.); officially so by Admiralty order of 1844 and U.S. Navy Department notice of 1846. Fig. sense "place of refuge" is attested from 1426; phrase any port in a storm first recorded 1749.

According to the standard debt-to-income ratio, the person who would be rated as highest in respect of eligibility for a home loan is person C.

A home loan is an amount that has been lent for the acquisition or purchase of any house. or apartment for living.

Given values:

Persons Monthly Incomes Recurring debts

Person A $4,250 ($51,000 / 12) $350

Person B $4,833 ($58,000 / 12) $250

Person C $5,250 ($63,000 / 12) $200

Person D $5,583 ($67,000 / 12) $450

Step-1 Computation of debt-to-income ratio of person A:

$\rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=\frac{\rm\ Recurring \rm\ debt}{\rm\ Income}\\ \rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=\frac{\$350}{\$4,250}\\\rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=8.23\%$

Step-2 Computation of debt-to-income ratio of person B:

$\rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=\frac{\rm\ Recurring \rm\ debt}{\rm\ Income}\\ \rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=\frac{\$250}{\$4,833}\\\rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=5.18\%$

Step-3 Computation of debt-to-income ratio of person C:

$\rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=\frac{\rm\ Recurring \rm\ debt}{\rm\ Income}\\ \rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=\frac{\$200}{\$5,250}\\\rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=3.80\%$

Step-4 Computation of debt-to-income ratio of person D:

$\rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=\frac{\rm\ Recurring \rm\ debt}{\rm\ Income}\\ \rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=\frac{\$450}{\$5,583}\\\rm\ Debt \rm\ to \rm\ Income \rm\ ratio=8.06\%$

Therefore, after finding debt to income ratios of all persons, the lowest ratio comes out to be of Person C at 3.80% which ranked to be the highest.
