LBO Modelling Test

Hi everyone,

I have a LBO modelling test coming up next week, and I have been studying as much as possible using online courses/training materials. I however noticed that all the materials are based on LBO transactions completed in the past, i.e. we know the purchase price and new debt issued. The trainings are therefore less relevant given the focus is on the calculations of IRR.  

In my upcoming case, I understand that I will be given a target IRR and asked to work backwards to calculate the purchase price. I would be very grateful if anyone of you could send me any materials/website links to help me master up this kind of LBO modelling, specifically for my case study. Alternatively, please share your LBO case study experience and how you tackled the questions.

I will PM you a real case I have done recently for a mid-cap PE firm (questions only), and hopefully this will help you guys too.

Thanks in advance!
