Schweser Book 6, 3 AM - Alternative Asset Valuation Vignette test, set, forever, anything, involved

Micholien

What a mother of a question this was. I think I legitimately spent 30minutes on this one item set. I really hope there isn’t anything this involved come test day.
Anyone else feel the same? Or do I need a massive AA review (not sure if it would help… still got 6/6, just took me forever)?

I have two questions regarding this set:
1. it didn’t give you gross income, but the answer actually used NOI for calculation. is it normal to do this?
2. the debt service in the question only included interest payments, so it is deducted before tax; how about if principal service is involved? is it deducted from after tax cash flow?
I got 4/6 on this set … but 85% for the whole AM, I am still wondering how did I do that …

1.for the NOI, use gross income for sure. The answer is wrong, I asked schweser support and they said using gross income
2. I believe you have to use pmt calculation to get the payment as the answer stated out. It was a while aog, can’t remember the details
