 my guess is that it sticks to the following assumption (also mentioned in Schweser notes 'Investment Analysis')
 - either the amortization schedule is provided
 - either it's interest-only loan
 
 I think it uses 'interest-only' (which actually conflicts with the fact that it's 30-year loan)
 - the mortgage balance won't reduce much in the first 5 year though, so this approximation is still tolerable, I guess

 'interest-only' => debt service equal to interest expense (no principal reduction!)

 a better example is the one in the CFA book
 ==================================
 Debt contribution: a fixed-rate mortgage is obtained for $393,750 at 8 percent per annum (compounded monthly) for 30 years. The monthly payment to amortize this loan is $2,889.20
 (Level II Volume 5 Alternative Asset Valuation and Fixed Income , 5th Edition. Pearson Learning Solutions p. 18).
 
 interest expense
 ??31,381
 ??31,108
 ??30,812
 ??30,492
 
 annual debt service = 34,670 (= 2889.20 *12)
 (I/Y, N, PV, FV=0 -> PMT = $2,889.20 )
 
 mortgage balance initial = 393,750
 mortgage balance outstanding = 378,862
 
 the difference between the annual debt service and annual interest expense is not so big relative to the amount of loan
 total difference (principal reduction) = reduction in mortgage balance = about 15,000
