A statement shows $96,000 EGI and these expenses: taxes $11,000, insurance $4,000, utilities $8,500, maintenance $7,000, management $4,800, reserves $2,700, mortgage payments $31,000. NOI is:

Correct Answer

C) $58,000 after the operating items only

Why this is correct: NOI = Effective Gross Income (EGI) minus Operating Expenses. Operating expenses here are taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, management, and reserves, totaling $38,000. $96,000 EGI - $38,000 = $58,000 NOI. Mortgage payments are financing costs, not operating expenses, and are excluded. Why the other choices are wrong: "$27,000 after every listed item" incorrectly includes mortgage payments. "$60,700, treating reserves as capital" uses an incorrect calculation and misclassifies reserves. "$65,000 before management and reserves" excludes legitimate operating expenses. Exam tip: To find NOI, subtract all operating expenses from EGI, but never subtract mortgage debt service.
