Pro-Forma EV / Equity Value Calculation

Hi folks, quick question. Was asked this in an interview and wanted to get clarity. Thanks!

Company A has an equity value of 60 and net debt of 20

Company B has an equity value of 20 and net debt of 10

What is the pro-forma EV and Equity Value when Company A acquires Company B? How does it differ based on if you use cash / debt / stock?
