Houlihan Lokey - Post-MBA Associate - Modeling Case Study

I'm a 4th year M&A attorney at an elite law firm looking to pivot into investment banking. I'm interviewing for a post-MBA associate role in Houlihan's New York office in their Debt Capital Markets group. I'm expected to perform a modeling case study over a few hours in my next session. Anyone have any idea what type of case study it will be? I can't imagine it would be restructuring. I'm concerned whether it will be DCF or LBO and where I should focus my studies. Thanks!
