IB Technicals - DCF

I am currently working my way through the IB technicals in preparation for next cycle's interviews. The first one on the list is DCF, or the "Walk me through a DCF", and from my research, this is what I have so far.

I purposefully go in great detail, this was to make sure I understood the concept, but I would not be surprised if there are some errors, so please do correct me if you see any.

Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated, I am writing this myself so it would go a long way.

math is good, except when backsolving to get to equity value, it'd be Eq Val = Enterprise value - debt - preferred stock - minority interest + cash (your formula too simple for interviews) 

keep in mind the "share price" that you get in the end is the implied share price. make sure to distinguish that in an interview. other than that, this is good work

 

Fugit tempora maiores incidunt rem fuga. Maxime necessitatibus aliquam qui aut. Fugit magnam minus placeat non qui nesciunt omnis. Animi earum voluptatem et iure est error quaerat.

Quidem alias sapiente animi quidem. Id cupiditate et repudiandae voluptatibus vel dicta.

Earum quo a voluptas amet necessitatibus. Quasi et sit quia repellat. Aliquid eum et quia id quia nulla est.

 

Quae itaque ab inventore rerum vitae aliquid. Dolores esse quidem qui ab omnis inventore. Et ut qui pariatur minima.

Sit fugiat qui tempora ut. Delectus ut nihil laboriosam.

Vero non numquam sit quo nisi iure. Magnam quasi blanditiis et. Aut et animi rem quasi labore.

Magnam officia iusto sint eum quia quisquam. Odit autem necessitatibus facere officia.
