Target IRR LBO Template

Hi, would anyone be so kind to share an LBO model template using the target IRR method? So a version that is setup in such a way to find the initial price a sponsor could pay given required IRR / MOIC. Thank you in advance

I am not very well versed in LBO modelling so would want to see how it's done first

Sorry for the dumb question but would you be able to write a quick walkthrough for how to implement that within the model so that it outputs the required initial price? 

Essentially, I have a full LBO model that is built using an EBITDA entry and exit multiple but need to rebuild it so that it outputs the initial valuation given target IRR / MOIC. I am doing something wrong as the sponsor equity in the sources and uses schedule doesn't match the required initial investment based on Exit Year Sponsor Equity / MOIC. I.e. required sponsor equity in sources and uses is 315M while Exit Year Sponsor Equity / MOIC = 307.
