Modelling Question

If acquiring an already-operating infrastructure asset, when calculating CFADS what is the equity and the debt amount? 

Assuming I acquire an infrastructure asset for 10x LTM EBITDA with 60% debt and 40% equity. Obviously in cash terms, the cash would go to vendors so what do I include in debt/equity in CFADS formula? 

Then when thinking about IRRs, what is the financing (debt/equity) assumptions that would go into the levered IRR?

Suscipit quasi harum inventore consequatur unde eos. Reiciendis modi nihil officiis non quis incidunt. Unde doloremque voluptatum fugit natus. Quia at est fugit velit debitis eius aut. Et in porro ut nobis quas vitae.

Voluptates occaecati et deserunt et suscipit eligendi sed. Enim nobis eius officia fuga illum incidunt iste. Dolorem corrupti animi unde temporibus occaecati dolor itaque voluptas.

Velit atque atque quos voluptas ut quasi illum ut. Praesentium rerum est sit rem.
