Answer:
Debt to income ratio is all your debt payments divided by all the money you earn during a month. Generally you are considered to be in good financial shape when your debt to income ratio is less than 20%, if it's less than 10% it is even better.
Kim's gross income = $1,230 - $165 (taxes) = $1,065
Kim's total debt payments without new debt = $134 (credit card payments)
Kim's total debt payments including new debt = $134 + $172 (new debt) = $306
Kim's debt to income ration without new debt = $134 / $1,065 = 12.58%
Kim's debt to income ration with new debt = $306 / $1,065 = 28.73%
Currently Kim's debt to income ratio is only 12.58% which is very good, but if she takes the new loan then her ratio will increase to 28.73% which is extremely high and not prudent.
Answer: Import restrictions
Explanation: Import restrictions are methods used to control the types, quantity and value of goods being imported into a country from other countries.
There are various types of import restrictions and they are:
1. Import duties: import duties are tariffs or taxes imposed on imported goods to make them more expensive thereby discouraging the purchase and use of imported goods.
2. Import quota: this is a restriction on the volume of imported goods that would be allowed into the country at a particular period of time or from a particular country.
3. Currency restrictions: this is used to restrict the amount of foreign currency used in the settlement of imported goods.
4. Prevention of the entry of illegal or harmful items into the country.
