Need clarity on these topics - any help appreciated

1) In an IPO, would you use the current or target capital structure while calculating the WACC for DCF ? Same question for a sell side M&A deal

2) The pricing range of an IPO is on a pre money or post money basis ? Could someone elaborate ? 

3) Best resources to prep for a PE / IB interview ?

4) From where can I learn LBO modelling ?
