Technical BB Interview: Common questions?

Hey chimps,

I have a technical interview with a BB scheduled in the following days. It is for an off-cycle internship.

What are the most common questions that I have to expect/prepare?

Thanks buds.

All fair game, BBs tend to ask more basic technicals from what I have experienced. Of course this is not an exhaustive list

- Walk me through a DCF

- What is WACC, how to calculate it. Alternatives to measuring cost of capital? (CAPM)

- What is a terminal value, two ways to calculate it

- Walk me from revenue to unlevered FCF; what is the difference between levered vs. unlevered

- How do you calculate an implied share price through comparable companies analysis (Walk me through a comps analysis)

- When to use EBIT multiple vs. EBITDA multiple

- Know how to calculate Enterprise Value
