I am building a lbo model to buy a public company and had 2 questions. One, how will I determine the purchase price? I don't have any assumptions given to me. I understand some recommend using DCF but is using an implied price from PE & EPS comps sufficient? Two, buying a public company might need a premium..how do I determine that?
