WSO PE Prep Pack Model

Hey all,

I have the PE Prep Pack, and am doing the first full 3 hour model. In doing the balance sheet adjustments, I see that the goodwill calculation is essentially just a plug difference between the pro forma adjustments. I am wondering why that is, and why the goodwill calculation isn't the equity purchase price less existing BVE?

Thanks

correct. In this example the way it is modeled will give the right answer just fine, but it is not robust to doing different capital structures. A more robust way of modeling it would be to link the OID to the Sources side of the Sources and Uses table (D98:D100) instead of the Assumptions table.

We will update the model to make it more robust.
