Don't feel bad. You applied common sense and while your numbers are probably not accurate, they would be safely on the conservative side. I would not have thought of adding the 20%, so well done there!
Old light twin aircraft like the Apache were not certificated to any proper performance standard that we would accept today. The second engine was more a perceived safety device than an actual one.
When you start your ATP studies you should get proper and representative flight manuals to work with. Then you will have real numbers.
