here are some EB questions that are hard i remember prepping with

Company A has $400 of net income and trades at 20x P/E. Company B has $100 of net income and trades at 10x P/E. A acquires B in a 100% stock deal. B shareholders own 20% of the combined company, and the deal is  10% accretive post synergies. What are the required after-tax synergies and what premium did A pay?

PE buys Company A with $50M EBITDA at 8x and uses 40% debt. Company already has $80M of existing debt. Over six years, half the debt is paid down, IRR is 20%, and exit multiple is still 8x. By what percentage must EBITDA grow?

Company A has 40 shares outstanding, a $10 share price, and net income of $80. Company B has 50 shares outstanding, a $6 share price, and net income of $100. The deal is financed 100% with stock.

An acquirer trading at 12x P/E buys a target at 10x P/E in an all stock deal. What is the breakeven premium?
