Please help! Having problems with cash sweep

Hi guys,

I've been trying to practice my LBO modelling with Street of Walls' sample LBO case study practice and my cash sweep is not working properly. I don't have any formal IBD experience and have taught myself to model; I can build a basic integrated financial model quite comfortably but have limited experience with revolvers and cash sweep.

The problem is that I have to maintain a $5M minimum cash balance. I built a cash sweep that did the job, but I forgot to include in the model that the revolver gets priority in the cash sweep. Now that I've tried to model that in, the cash messes up and I can't maintain the minimum cash balance. I've looked over the model a few times and am not sure where the error lies.

Could someone please take a look at my model for me and provide some feedback that could help me? I will be happy to PM you a link to my model.

Thank you very much!

Back out your minimum cash balance so that you would require a draw on the revolver if you ever dropped below that. For example, I am sure you have a few lines in there that you use to calculate the call on revolver, well in there make a line for minimum cash balance and make it -15. link that to your assumption so you can change it in the future. The revolver should now balance the minimum cash! yippee!
