Leveraged Finance Technical Interview Questions - Need Help

Hi All,

I have an interview coming up with a leveraged finance team, and I needed some help on these questions. I was wondering if you guys could do me a solid and map out these questions for me:

If a company incurs $100 of debt on Jan 1, how does it flow through the financial statements?

If a company incurs $100 of debt Jan first to buy PPE, how does it flow through the statements?

What kind of transaction makes a company more highly leveraged?

In addition, what other questions should I expect and should focus on these next couple of days?

Many Thanks
