I had a phone call with RBC, but for the SF office. I hope this helps you anyway.

  1. What are the three valuation techniques?
  2. Can you rank them from highest to lowest valuation?
  3. Why does this method give the highest valuation?
  4. Walk me through a DCF.
  5. What are the three financial statements?
  6. How are the three financial statements connected?
  7. Walk me through the lines on the CF statement and tell me how it connects to the other statements.
  8. How would you project out the revenues for a mining company and a subscription company?

Sure, I didn't...It was my first IB 1st round and I was definitely not qualified at time, but he explained it to me.

For the mining company, just take the units sold per year and multiply it by the price per unit of gold/ore/whatever. For the subscription-based company, just take the price per subscription, and then multiply it by 12 or 1 (monthly vs yearly). Looking back, it was a very basic question, but it was so early in the process for me that I had no idea what I was doing lmao.

This phone call was like in April lmfao....I had thought they wrapped up recruiting for the SF office months ago. I might be wrong, though.
